After his first Red-shirt season at East Carolina under new head coach Scottie Montgomery, former Wallace Rose-Hill Football Superstar Keyshawn Canady, who is the son of Victor Canady and Evelyn Canady, is ready to compete for significant playing time at the defensive back position this season after an impressive showing in the Pirates' annual (Purple and Gold) inter...squad games in April, which he had an interception and eight total tackles.
Canady, who is known more for his speed (4.3 in the 40-yard dash) rather than his "toughness" in high school, where he ran for more than 1,000 yards for two consecutive season as a Bulldog, said he has been "living in the weightroom" in order to prepare himself for the physciality of playing Division I football and has increased his bench press to 300 pounds, while adding on 5 pounds of muscle to his 6-foot frame.
ECU willl begin its season in Greenville on Sept.2 against James Madison (ESPN3) before traveling to Blacksburg on Sept.16 to face the Hokies of Virginia Tech, which also will be televised on CBS.
With that said, let's put on our purple and gold and cheer for Keyshawn's success in the process!!!
