Williams takes over at middle linebacker as Bethune-Cookman rebuilds defense

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Florida Even a veteran like LeBrandon Richardson needed to get acclimated Friday as Bethune-Cookman opened its first preseason training camp at the New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex.

And not just because of the mid-summer heat and high humidity. The defensive end was surrounded by new faces and unsure paces as the Wildcats embarked on a rebuilding project — replacing eight departed defensive starters.


“It's a new crew. We're putting the pieces to the puzzle together, and it was a great start today,” Richardson said.
With only three defensive starters returning — including Richardson, a two-time all-MEAC selection — the Wildcats are looking for several of last season's reserves to step up.
