FAMU QB Lee has big upside

FAMU Coach Joe Taylor quarterbacks are lacking in game experience, but are talented.

There's inexperienced. And then there's inexperienced. Florida A&M's starting quarterback, Eddie Battle, is a redshirt sophomore who saw action in only six games last year. But compared to Tobias Lee, the Rattlers' No.2 quarterback, Battle is a grizzled veteran. Lee is a redshirt freshman from Brundidge, Ala., who has yet to take a snap in a college game. It's not as if he came to FAMU with a lot of experience, either. Lee played quarterback for only one season at Pike County High School.
