Plenty of competition at WSSU this spring

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- The Winston-Salem State football team has a lot of young talent at all positions, but it will be especially young at quarterback this spring.

It had been expected that redshirt sophomore Justin Johnson would be the leading candidate to start this fall, but he’s been ruled academically ineligible for spring practice. With Johnson out, the two quarterbacks in camp are both redshirt freshmen.

“We had a little conversation with Justin the other day and he knows he has to get his academics in order,” Boulware said. “We just plan on moving forward as we go through spring practice.”

The Rams have had two practices, and Boulware said that there are 110 players who hit the field on Tuesday. Among those are quarterbacks Demetrius Lewis, who redshirted last season, and Rod Tinsley, a transfer from Gardner-Webb.
