Lancaster, TX – Joseph Thomas, 6-0, 180, Fr., WR/DB, Lancaster High School
Speedy two-way player for 5A Class Lancaster…Outstanding track athlete with 10.5 100 meter speed.
------------------------------------------------------------------
WHO ARE THESE GUYS?: Occupying the Panthers' three receiver spots are several unfamiliar names heading into Saturday's opener at Iowa State. Tagged to start at one spot is sophomore walk on James Lindgren and backing him up is Iowa Central Community College transfer Ben Spellman. On the other side is junior Justin Surrency, who caught nine passes for 90 yards a year ago. He will be backed up by freshman Joseph "J.R." Thomas. Junior Jason Breeland has been switched from running back to a wide receiver position to help fill the gap left with the graduation of 2003 leaders Eddie Galles and Marlus Mays, and he will be backed up by sophomore Curt Bradley, who played in all 13 games last season, catching 10 passes for 128 yards.
YOUNG BLOOD: The first UNI depth chart released Monday shows seven freshmen amongst the two-deep, including one true freshman in Joseph "J.R." Thomas at wide receiver. Other new faces in the lineup include Iowa Central Community College transfer, senior receiver Ben Spellman; senior defensive tackle Brent Nelson, a transfer from Iowa State; and junior linebacker Brett Koebcke, a transfer from William Rainey Harper Community College.
