Texas State added another leg to its special teams on Thursday.
Three-star kicker and La Grange graduate Alan Orona announced he plans to join the Bobcats this fall in an interview with KTIM-FM, flipping his commitment from Texas Tech. Orona explained his decision had to do with the Red Raiders firing former head coach Kliff Kingsbury and hiring Matt Wells in his place, as well as wanting to be closer to his family.
“It’s been hectic for me because recent coaching changes has (sic) been happening. So after, I got the better opportunity at Texas State, so I went ahead and took that,” Orona said. “It’s great, my family really loves (San Marcos). They’ve been enjoying it lately, telling other families, ‘He’s going to be so close, we’re going to watch his games.’ It’s a big thing for me as well.”
