Former Rickards standout commits to FAMU baseball

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  -- Darton State College baseball coach Scot Hemming isn’t known for dishing out accolades cheaply. So when he described infielder Tay Jerger as a player who will be “a great signing” for FAMU, he wasn’t just saying something good about one of his players.

“When we got Tay, he was pretty rough around the edges,” Hemmings said during a telephone interview. “Over the last year, Tay has cleaned his game up.”

Jerger is expected to be even more polished when he arrives on FAMU’s campus next fall. He told the Democrat that he’s committed to being a Rattler.



Jerger, a former infielder/pitcher at Rickards High School 18 months ago, is just the kind of recruit that Jamey Shouppe said he will add to the FAMU roster when he became the program’s new head coach earlier this year. He has already signed several other former junior college players in his effort to jump start a baseball program that has not had a winning season in three years.
