coachacola Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 He was a 2-star lineman out of high school who committed to UL-Monroe. Not sure if he ever played there. Link: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Brock-Wempa-69854 Quote
coachacola Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 From the Beaumont Enterprise: Tyler Junior College offensive lineman Brock Wempa has signed to play football for the Cardinals this fall, announced Lamar University head coach Ray Woodard on Friday. The 6-foot-2, 310-pound Wempa played the last two seasons at TJC after originally signing at Louisiana-Monroe coming out of Royse City (Texas) High School. Wempa helped the Apaches to a No. 18 final national ranking last season and a 7-4 record. "Brock is a big lineman with good feet who should come in and help us right away," said Woodard. During his sophomore campaign at TJC, the Apaches upset No. 1 ranked Blinn College 37-34 as they rushed for 352 yards on 62 carries. Wempa blocked for an offense that averaged nearly 400 yards per game, including 230 on the ground.

Guest CardAmbassador Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 We've picked up two nice additions, both of which were in areas of need OL and catching (TE) A WR would still be a good addition to this team but if we don't sign one it wont be the end of the world. Quote
Guest bigred360 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Sounds like a nice addition to the football program. Quote
Guest CardAmbassador Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Why is he signing so late? Don't know, but it doesn't have to be a bad thing. In fact, it could be that he held out too long thinking some FBS school would pick him up and passed over other offers but now he has been forced to sign with an FCS school. He did have an offer from Iowa St. out of HS. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Brock-Wempa-69854 He was also a starter on a pretty good offense at TJC: http://www.lamarcardinals.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/051112aaa.html Quote
coachacola Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 His latest rivals profile showed that he had offers from Eastern Kentucky, Nicholls and Murray State. Link: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Brock-Wempa-117846 Quote

He can't wait to hit the field I hope all that talent will translate into a 1st team All SLC performer on the field for the next three years. The OL can use a beast like this. Quote
