Albany State Inks Two Prospects for 2018

ALBANY, Georgia -- The Albany State University Football program has signed two to Letters of Intent for the 2017 early signing period.

"We are very excited to add to our ASU Family Deonte Jackson from GMC and Raekwon Bethea from Coffeyville," says Gabe Giardina who just wrapped his inaugural season as the Head Coach of the Golden Rams. "We wanted to add some experience to our offensive and defensive lines and these two will go a long way in accomplishing that goal. Both will be solid student-athletes on the field of play.

The Golden Rams welcome Raekwon Bethea a JUCO transfer from Coffeyville Community College in Coffeyville, Kansas. Prior to his stint at Coffeyville Bethea, a 6-1, 300 pound offensive lineman who hails from Alachua, Florida, played at Santa Fe High School.

ASU also adds Deonte Jackson to the fold for the upcoming season. Jackson was a defensive lineman at Georgia Military College in Milledgeville. The Atlanta native spent his high school career at Langston Hughes in Fairburn, GA.

"It always feel good as a coach when you can add guys up front", states Giardina. "We are excited to get them here at the break and look forward to our first off season and spring as a staff."
