Ram Ramblings: Rod Tinsley knows the competition for his starting job is there

“I think there’s been about 10 guys,” said Tinsley, who is now a senior and entering his fourth season as the starter.

Tinsley admits he has some competition again this preseason with freshman Dominique Graves and graduate transfer Emiere Scaife and Miles Timmons, who was Tinsley’s backup last season.

“All of us are competing and that’s great to see,” Tinsley said. “And Coach (Ryan McManus) has said the best player will be out there for the opening game.”

So far it appears that Tinsley has kept his hold on the starting job through five practices. He helped the Rams win two CIAA title and they made an appearance in the Division II playoffs after the 2016 season.
