The North Carolina A&T head baseball coach Ben Hall will bring back nine seniors in 2021 who had their season interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
The nine seniors returning include 2020 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) preseason pitcher of the year Michael Johnson, All-MEAC first-teamers Dustin Baber and Leon Davidson, All-MEAC second-teamer Ryne Stanley, as well as reliever Evan Gates, right fielder Camden Williamson, right-handers Cole Parks and Justin Fox and outfielder Shane Faulk.
In March, the NCAA announced it will allow student-athletes who had their final year of eligibility affected by the coronavirus pandemic can return for the 2021 season to finish out their respective collegiate careers.
In bringing back his senior class, the Aggies bring back players who helped them get off to a 7-9 start in 2020 before the season was canceled.
Williamson led the team in hits last year and was riding a 16-game hitting streak when the season ended.
