Bobcats Add Two Late Transfers


With the hamstring injury to backup running back Isaiah Taito, and everyone below him on the depth chart just a true freshman, Mike Kramer decided to fortify the position today with the addition of UTEP (University of Texas-El Paso) backup Jon Lane. Lane rushed for just 27 yards on 11 carries for a score last year and a couple receptions, but figured to be either the #2 back, but more likely the #3 back. Originally a walk-on at UTEP, he will receive a full-ride to play for the Bobcats. Lane is a sophmore. The link is HERE.

Also landing with the Bobcats is Tyrone Henderson, a talented safety from Colorado. Henderson was the third leading tackler for the Buffs last year, despite missing their bowl game against whoever (who watches bowl games, right?). He was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection. His experience at the I-A level will most likely land him a starting spot opposite returning starter Ryan Force. Henderson will be a junior, and was dismissed from the Buffs from "violating unspecific team rules." LINK.
