First-year OL Cantey, Nelson happy in new home at ASU
Albany State offensive linemen Robert Cantey, left, and Darvel Nelson both transferred to Albany State from Georgia Military College this offseason expecting to have a year to learn the Rams’ system and possibly earn starting roles next season. But when two of Albany State’s top OL were ruled ineligible to start the season, Cantey and Nelson were thrust into the spotlight — and so far, have done a bang-up job protecting Rams QB Stanley Jennings.

ALBANY — On Saturdays, Albany State offensive linemen Darvel Nelson and Robert Cantey line up inches away from each other on the football field.
Off the field, they may be even closer.
And it took the Rams coaches no time at all to witness the camaraderie of the two transfers from Georgia Military College.
“We saw it from day one,” Rams offensive line coach Lawrence Livingston said. “Coach (Anthony) Kelly nicknamed them Cheech and Chong, because they are always together and are always in sync. They work well together.”
But what makes the two junior linemen such good friends?
WHO: ASU (2-1) ay Miles (1-2).
WHAT: Rams
