I received the latest Football roster from UK yesterday, and as I was perusing the players I noticed one I hadn’t heard of before. According to the roster, 6′ 3” 270 lb. defensive lineman James McDevitt will be joining the Cats as a walk-on this fall. McDevitt is officially a transfer from Southern Miss, but there seems to be more to him than that.
According to [URL=”http://southernmiss.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/mcdevitt_james00.html”]Southern Miss’ website[/URL], McDevitt was a graduate of Baker HS in Alabama who served in the War in Iraq in 2005-2006 and redshirted at USM in 2006. A native of Mobile, Alabama, this man-among-boys was a walk-on at USM as well and is considered a senior this year. He reportedly can play DE, DL or FB so we’ll see how Joker implements his talents.
