Quarterback depth becoming a concern for JSU

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Jackson State has one of the brightest stars in the SWAC, LaMontiez Ivy, as its quarterback.

Ivy, who earned preseason second-team all-conference honors, is a talent, but he's the only proven one the Tigers currently have at the quarterback position.

The unit's depth took a hit last month when redshirt freshman Brent Lyles was in a car accident back in his home state of Indiana. At SWAC Media Day on Friday, JSU coach Harold Jackson officially declared Lyles done for the season after the accident resulted in hip surgery.

That leaves Ivy and UNLV transfer Jarin Morikawa as the only two healthy quarterbacks on the roster.
