GREENSBORO - There are a lot of red jerseys at the North Carolina A&T football practices, lately. No, the Aggies haven't converted into S.C. State Bulldogs or Delaware State Hornets.
Red jerseys are worn by A&T quarterbacks at practice to signal "stop" to the other players before tackling a QB. There were many times a year ago when Lewis Kindle was the only guy in red when it came to quarterbacks at an A&T practice.
The scene has been very different so far in 2012. Quarterbacks coach Joe Pizzo and Kindle have more company this August during workouts. The Aggies added three new quarterbacks during the offseason. The additional bodies at quarterback are symbolic of the entire A&T football team.
Instead of having a paltry 33 scholarships, the Aggies opened camp with 92 players. There is more depth at every position, which really has head Rod Broadway optimistic about the 2012 season.
"We'll see after camp where we stack up as far as depth is concerned," said Broadway. "We're excited about having our scholarships back and being able to have some young guys in here. Hopefully, those guys we'll develop and not only provide depth, but hopefully some of them can play for us right away."
