As expected, Rebels sign two mid-year JC corners

UNLV just announced officially the signings of junior college corners Kenny Brown (listed at 6-0 instead of 5-9 as we saw on several recruiting sites) from College of the Canyons, the younger brother of former BYU’s all-time leading rusher, RB Curtis Brown, and Warren Zeigler (6-1, 180) of College of San Mateo (Calif.).

If Brown is indeed now 6-foot, nice to get two big corners for spring ball. Brown also has 4 years to play 3 after qualifying out of high school.

Here are Mike Sanford’s official quotes from UNLV’s release:

“Kenny Brown is a great competitor and a leader from a winning junior college football team,” Sanford said. “He will be a great addition to our football program.”

On Zeigler:

“Warren Zeigler is an excellent man-to-man coverage defender who was a very strong prospect coming out of high school and has improved greatly playing in junior college,” said Sanford. “We’re looking forward to him being a Rebel in 2009.”

Spring ball starts March 9. Can’t wait to see the two newbies.
