Super Bowl Update

We had a couple of Troy-related stories in today's Dothan Eagle.

HERE is a great read from Ken Rogers on Steve McLendon helping out at an Ozark camp. McLendon's last season at Troy was in 2008 and he's still playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers after signing as an UDFA in 2009.

Former Enterprise catcher Justin Hancock, who played the last two years at Central Alabama, signed with Troy. I caught up with him earlier this week and HERE is the story.

And some big football-related news. Signee Michael Lindsey was one of the students at Elba arrested for vandalism. You can read HERE from our courts reporter that all involved were accepted into the Coffee County deferred prosecution program. I'd think that, with this, assuming he takes care of business and is academically eligible, Lindsey will be with the team this fall. That's just my guess right now as it's after midnight and I just saw this article.

From the article...

....Records also indicate that as part of the agreement, the defendants must comply to the conditions of the program, which include the payment of the deferred prosecution fee of $250 to the Coffee County District Attorney’s Office, payment of the to be determined restitution to the district attorney’s office, court costs to be paid within 90 days and the state’s right to reinstate the criminal charges should the defendants fail to comply with all the terms of the agreement.
