Alabama State University NCAA News

The Atlanta Falcons today announced that they have signed cornerback Saeed Lee and kicker Jeremy Shelley.

Hailing from Minneapolis, the 6-foot-4 point guard matriculated at a pair of junior colleges---South Georgia Tech and State College of Florida---before choosing Alabama State, where he earned a bachelor's degree at the Hornets' spring commencement this morning, over offers from Florida A&M and Nebraska-Omaha and late interest from Southern Miss.

Alabama State men's basketball team now has seven transfers since the offseason began, adding the departure of point guard Josh Mason, according to Yahoo! Rivals recruiting reporter DeAnte' Mitchell.

With six players reportedly transferring out of the program and three departing after exhausting their eligibility, Alabama State will have a lot of new faces when its 2013-2014 men's basketball season tips off in the winter.

The battle for the starting quarterback position at Alabama State wasn't settled in 14 spring practices or the annual Black and Gold Game, head coach Reggie Barlow said.
