Sidelines

The Bulls have filled the last three positions on the football roster by awarding scholarships to sophomore outside linebacker David Hubbard, freshman safety Chris Storr and kicker Taylor Packwood. The three have been with the team since the beginning of the summer. All three will be looking to make an immediate impact, as Packwood will be the new starting kicker.

All three players have past experience in more then one sport, and have been standouts on the football field. Hubbard joins the Bulls from a community college in California where he led his team to a conference title. Storr hails from Michigan and played baseball and football in high school earning All-American honors in both. Head coach Turner Gill recruited Packwood from his home state in Texas where Packwood attended nationally recognized Bishop Lynch High School where his team won the state title last season.
