BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Deonte Shorts officially became Southern’s starting quarterback Wednesday.
Coach Dawson Odums informed each of his four quarterbacks of their roles heading into the season opener Aug. 30 at Louisiana-Lafayette.
The naming of Shorts, a redshirt freshman from Southern Lab, was expected after he worked almost exclusively with the first team during preseason camp.
“I figured it was going to happen,” Shorts said after practice. “I was just waiting on the bossman’s words.”
Still, Odums gave him the word at a midday meeting in the coach’s office.
