Grambling Tigers unsettled under center

GSU Running Back Frank Warren will take the pressure off the GSU offense.

Grambling State was picked this offseason to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s Western Division for the eighth time since 2000. That was before it lost a fifth-year senior quarterback to ineligibility. Brandon Landers, a former News-Star prep offensive player of the year, fell a credit short and did not report. He started in 2004, ’06 and then last season as Grambling won seven straight games on the way to a runner-up finish in the SWAC.

Gone, too, are top graduated receivers Reginald Jackson and Clyde Edwards, slot starter Tim Abney, center Tavarus Cockrell and right tackle Randall Bennett. Weakside linebacker John Carter, left tackle Everett Edwards and backup quarterback Larry Kerlegan were also lost to ineligibility.
