Rams Pair Signs with Belhaven

Tampa Baptist two-way standouts Morgan Gibson and Eric Smith, the Rams' most valuable players for 2005 and '06, respectively, have signed partial scholarships with Belhaven College, an NAIA program in Jackson, Miss.

The two are the first players in the program's two-year history to sign football scholarships, Coach Dennis Duggan said. Both recently visited the campus with Rams defensive coordinator Gary McCormick, who essentially hooked them up with the 9-year-old Mid-South Conference program.

Smith, a two-way lineman, had 78 total tackles as a senior. Gibson, a fullback/linebacker, also had 78 tackles and scored a pair of touchdowns.
