Howard OK with being put in 'corner'DAYTONA BEACH -- D.J. Howard has never been one to shy away from change. Although the former Spruce Creek High standout signed a football scholarship with Bethune-Cookman three years ago primarily to learn from two renowned coaches of defensive backs -- head coach Alvin Wyatt and defensive backs coach Terry Williams -- Howard was excited when new head coach Brian Jenkins was hired last December.

"The training methods are different, the styles of practice are different," the redshirt sophomore said Friday evening, one week into Jenkins' first preseason camp with the team.
"With a new coach, everybody has to come back and compete for their jobs, and that's a great thing because it brings back a spark. Everybody has to work hard."
