BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Willie Quinn was a star of Southern’s preseason camp last year, but eligibility issues cost him a chance to show everyone why.
It appears Quinn will finally get the chance.
The explosive receiver with the diminutive 5-foot-6, 175-pound frame has returned to the Southern practice fields, and coach Dawson Odums said the sophomore’s eligibility issues are behind him.
“It’s always easy to quit, but we’re trying to teach the young men a different mindset,” Odums said. “He paid the price and made the sacrifice. Now he’s getting an opportunity. I’m just glad he did what he was supposed to do academically. We’ll see how the fall goes for him.”
The academic hurdle Quinn hit last year apparently stemmed from the Miami product attending two high schools.
