Article Image Alt Text

Texas Wesleyan University has begun football practices for their third season of the sport, well, since they took a break in 1941 for World War II. They resumed in 2017, hence their popular sale of T-shirts with the phrase – Rams Football, Unbeaten Since 1941.

Following a 1-10 return, they rose to 2-8 last fall, with three near-miss wins.

The difference was QB Donovan Isom (6’5, 245), who transferred from Southeastern Louisiana. The “Ice Man” tossed 13 TD’s against just 5 picks, though he endured injuries, a young O-Line and an erratic ground game (126 ypg).

In his last 10 games Shaw has a 2.37 earned run average, throwing 19 innings. He’s yielded 14 hits, five earned runs, walked nine and fanned 19 batters.
