Thanks guys! Looks like you nailed it! Bluestem is a great match. I recognize both species, the Broomsedge grows around my grandparent's place in large quantities. Looks like the Little is the one I have in my yard. Thanks again, y'all! There's one mystery solved. :)
Liam, It's hard to tell from a single photo, but this could be Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). Google images for Little Bluestem and see what you think. I find Little Bluestem growing typically in grasslands, but also in savanna, along open roadsides, etc., often in sandy soils.

I agree with Gordon that it looks like a bluestem. Also try broomsedge bluestem (Andropogon virginicus)
