TWO DEEP: THE RB'S

This week we will be looking at the UB BULL BACKFIELD. The BULLS have great depth and will display a mixture of veteran leadership and young legs that will most certainly provide the spark to take the BULLS new offense into the next era of UB FOOTBALL. The RB's are coached by Mike Daniels. Coach Daniels brings a new energy to the room. A former RB himself in this style of offense, Coach Daniels will help to mold one of the deepest groups in the MAC into one of the most productive groups in the MAC. If the sky is the limit for the RB's on the roster, then the discovery of new worlds is in our near future with the arrival of 2010 recruit James Potts from American Heritage HS (FLA). James Potts was listed on www.rivals.com as the number 24 ranked all purpose RB in the country and will have an opportunity to compete out of the gate. But before anyone steps on the field each of these UB BULL BACKS are working like never before to be in the best shape of the lives for this upcoming season.


RB 27 – Brandon Thermilus (Sr., 511, 224) - "Therm" is a great mixture of power and deceptive speed coming out of the back field. Brandon has fought through injury and is in the best shape of his career. He is poised to be a feature back in this offense and with his dedication and leadership will provide the necessary experience to be a go to guy.

or 36 – Ike Nduka (Sr., 511 217) - "Ike" has shown the ability to be a dependable back with moments of brilliant capability. With this being his last season, Ike is working harder to be the Number 1 guy than ever before.

21 – Jeffvon Gill (So., 511, 211) - Jeffvon had several breakout games in his freshman season and lived up to the expectations coming out of high school. Jeffvon is the perfect mixture of grace and power. Gill has tremendous vision for the hole and cutback lanes as many of his long runs last season came about due to his no quit attitude. He is one to watch.

or 32 – Branden Oliver (RFr., 58,196) - Of all the backs coming into this season "Bo" has the most excitement around him. Though he did not see the field last season, "Bo" is an electrical runner. He has great power in his frame and can cut on a dime. One of his greatest attributes is his ability to hit the hole quickly.

The RB's will be vital to the success of the 2010 UB BULLS FOOTBALL PROGRAM. They are one of the hardest working groups on the field and they have great pride in running the football and taking many trips into the end zone.
