UNLV’s Beauchamp steps up to front

One number, an impressive number, sticks out when looking at the football season UNLV’s Jason Beauchamp put together last year.

Deeper secondary provides options

UNLV’s secondary needed capable bodies last season. While it remains to be seen if the defensive backfield is improved, it certainly is deeper.

IGNORING ALL CAUTION SIGNS

Barely a year after sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury, UNLV linebacker Starr Fuimaono found himself badly hurt again.

Junior duo working at new positions

UNLV’s football media guide lists Malo Taumua at defensive tackle and Isaako Aaitui at defensive end, just where both juniors ended the spring.

Payne pumped up for encore

On a wall in his office in the Lied Athletic Complex, Kris Cinkovich has hung framed action photos of UNLV’s wide receivers.

UNLV freshman not frightened of competition

UNLV freshman cornerback Courtney Bridget is a “high-character player” from Baltimore who doesn’t mind a bit of competitive fun with teammate Charles Childers.

Rebels’ Randle in a rush

Bradley Randle is used to dealing with expectations — and they are high at UNLV. As a top-rated recruit, he not only could play right away but also push for the starting job.

Shaw eager for Act II with Rebels

In the distant future, Matt Shaw can picture himself on the big screen, ideally playing a comedic role.

Chin well equipped to recount UNLV glory days

As the most veteran staffer in UNLV’s athletic department, assistant equipment manager Larry Chin has spent 35 years with sweat-soaked uniforms. It’s a career Chin never planned on, but fell into as a junior at Western High School when he realized that at 5 feet 6 inches and 155 pounds, he was too small to continue to play football. He became team manager and eventually received a scholarship at UNLV to serve as a student manager.
