Quarterback Casey Therriault had planned to visit other schools this spring. Then he visited Jackson State. "I loved the campus atmosphere. It's not too big, not too small," Therriault said. "I really liked everybody I met." Therriault, who transferred to JSU from Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan, scratched four scheduled trips to other schools after his visit to Jackson. He would not disclose what schools offered him scholarships but said none were "as relevant as Jackson State."
Therriault, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior, is locked in a battle for the starting spot with redshirt sophomore Dedric McDonald. Coaches have lauded Therriault's accurate arm, leadership skills and speed - attributes that led him to pass for more than 2,100 yards and 24 touchdowns last year at Grand Rapids.
