In quarterback race at NSU, then there were two

NORFOLK, Virginia  -- The competition at quarterback remains open at Norfolk State.

First-year coach Latrell Scott said Friday that sophomore Terrance Ervin, who started nine games as a true freshman, will have to stave off newcomer Greg Hankerson to keep the job. Hankerson, a junior transfer, appeared in 16 games over two seasons at Florida Atlantic.

Asked whether he had a quarterback controversy on his hands, Scott didn't hesitate.

"I think there's a controversy in everything," he said, speaking before the MEAC's annual media luncheon in downtown Norfolk. "It's not so much controversy, it's competition."

Ervin, a Richmond native, completed 54.3 percent of his passes last season for 1,310 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. Hankerson passed for 647 yards and four scores in two seasons at FAU.
