Wildcat Alumni College Update – Fall Practice as of 8-14-11

By on August 15, 2011 in Alumni

Time to look in on Wildcat alumni that are vying for college play time. In no particular order:

Carson Meger was 6 for 9 with 67 yards passing and one TD throw in UTEP’s next-to-last day of Camp Socorro. Meger competes for the starting QB spot for the Miners. Read about it here.

C.J. Martin was named pre-season All-American by the FCS Senior Scout Bowl. Full story here. Don’t forget to tune in to CBS Sports on Sept. 1 to watch CJ in action.

Rex Burkhead has clearly earned the starting position at running back, and after the first week of fall practice Nebraska Corn Husker fans know it, asking about who will be his back-up, not his competition. See it here.

Collin Brence is on the roster at Baylor and recorded a tackle during the Meet the Bears intra-squad scrimmage on Saturday. See him signing team posters in the photo gallery.

Connor Michelsen shows on the Princeton Tigers roster, but there’s no action to report until the pre-season camp opens August 24.

Blake McJunkin enters his senior year at SMU with a truckload of experience and now a share of the spotlight now that he’s been named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List.

Beau Brence has lettered on both sides of the ball at UNLV but may be in the defensive end rotation for 2011. The Rebels’ first game is against Wisconsin on September 1 – perhaps another Wildcat alum on TV that night?

Chris Moore was assigned #95 for July training camp at Iowa State. You can watch him in special teams practice here.
