Defensive line becoming 'most improved' for Bobcats

Caeveon Patton has never seen so many defensive linemen on one team.

Patton, a senior D-lineman himself, is entering his fifth year at Texas State. The Bobcats currently have 17 other players on the roster listed at the same position — a group head coach Jake Spavital has called the "most improved" in fall camp.

“I take a lot of pride in trying to be able to know them all and kind of recite them all. But you can tell they're getting to a point where there's a ton of them that are walking around this building right now,” Spavital said. “I'll walk out here and I'll run into one and I'll forget. I'll be like, ‘Oh man, I forgot to say your name in the press conference.’”
