Jerngian believes it will be imperative for those in the trenches to do their jobs if success is to follow.
Jon Johnson Second-year Eufaula coach Jerrel Jernigan says he’s “way more comfortable” going into this season in his role as head coach of his alma mater.Lost to graduation is defensive end Yhonzae Pierre, now at Alabama. Gone is offensive/defensive lineman Patrick Screws, now at Georgia Tech. And also having to be replaced is last year’s starting quarterback Copeland Cotton, also lost to graduation.
On offense, Jernigan hopes Browning Anderson can transition well into the starting quarterback role. Marquia Harris returns for his senior season at running back, Antron Mitchell is a talented senior receiver as is senior Arelious Slaughter.Parker Symons, a 5-10, 255-pound junior, is a leader across the offensive front at left guard.“He’s the Mike linebacker. I think he’s got about six or seven Division I offers,” Jernigan said. “At corner we’ve got Toney Coleman, Jr., who’s still raw, but he’s going to lead us in that secondary.
“He can put the ball anywhere we want him to put it. That’s a real luxury. Cooper has been kicking for us since he was in the eighth grade.”
