Scrimmage lets Berry show off dual-QB system

With the March Madness craze and the start of both College and Major League baseball underway, some fans do not even realize that football season is closer than they think.

Yes, it is that time of year again- Spring football practice. All across the country, programs are start­ing to hit the field again to start the long journey of winning confer­ences and reaching the post sea­son.

Spring can be a time to restock an already talented team, add new schemes or for some, it could be the first step in a rebuilding phase.

Things have changed, howev­er, going into the Spring Drills this season. After a full season under his belt, Coach Berry heads into this Spring with 19 of his 22 start­ers returning. The Warhawks look to improve on a 5-7 season that left them only one game shy of be­coming bowl-eligible playing with one of the youngest teams in all of college football.

ULM will look to do so with the return of starting Quarterback Kolton Browning. The 6’1” soph­omore returns after a stellar first year under center and will be even more experienced in his second year. ULM also has a veteran QB in junior Cody Wells. The Hoover, Alabama native has been reliable and productive throughout his ca­reer, and has stepped up in time of need. Cody may be used more this season because of his throw­ing ability and his leadership.

Taking a load in the running game will likely be sophomore Jryruss Edwards as he shared that duty with departed senior Frank Goodin. Mitchell Bailey is also il­legible to play after having to miss last season due to transfer rules. The Arkansas transfer is a strong and powerful runner, and will add good depth to a talented running back corps.

On the other side of the ball, Coach Reffet’s defense is still look­ing strong as safety Darius Pre­low and linebacker Jason Edwards look to have a standout campaign in their senior season as well as veteran leader Nate Brown. In the kicking game, senior Radi Jabour will continue with the field goals and PATs.

Though it is only halfway through spring drills, the War­hawks look strong in their quest of winning the Sun Belt and reaching the postseason. Spring training ends with the annual Spring foot­ball game on April 9 during Super Warhawk weekend.
