8/13/2008 5:00:00 AM | Football
Troy University head football coach Larry Blakeney announced today the addition of Josh Jarboe, a receiver from Cedar Grove HS in Decatur, Ga., to the Trojans roster.
Jarboe was rated as one of the top 10 prep receivers in the nation by ESPN and Rivals.com last year. He originally signed with the University of Oklahoma, but will enroll at Troy University.
“Troy University has always been interested in providing opportunities for young people to better themselves, and this is a situation where a young man who has made some mistakes is looking for a second chance,” Blakeney said. “I have met with Josh, and I am convinced that he is ready, and willing, to do the things we need for him to do to be a productive member of both this football team and the Troy University community.”
The Trojans will continue preparation for their season-opener at Middle Tennessee with practice sessions each afternoon this week. The week will include the teams' second scrimmage on Thursday night at 6:30 p.m.
Troy will travel to face Middle Tennessee on Thursday night, August 28, in Murfreesboro, Tenn. That game will be televised by ESPN Regional Television.
