Golden Eagle Quick Hits Leave It To Tevin • Tevin Kellum (Sr., DB, Detroit, Mich./Criminal Justice) has been all over the field as a senior for the Golden Eagles. Kellum made the move to safety from cornerback prior to the season, and has been natural at the position. Kellum leads the team with 78 tackles on the season. Kellum has 4.5 tackles for loss and an interception on the season. Last weekend against No. 6 UMD, Kellum made 17 tackles, tying for fourth all-time in UMC history. Homefield Advantage • The Golden Eagles have played well at Ed Widseth Field this season, picking up both of their wins at home as they upended MSU Moorhead 20-14 in the Red River Valley Showdown Oct. 19 and took down Bemidji State University 16-14 in the Hubcap Game Oct. 5, The Golden Eagles have also been very competitive in games against Wayne State College (Neb.) and Minot State University at home, most recently falling by just one point to the Beavers Oct. 26. The Golden Eagles will look to round out their home season with a successful game against Northern State University. Senior Class • The University of Minnesota Crookston will honor 10 seniors who will play their final home games at UMC Saturday. The Golden Eagle senior class is led in seniority by five-year member Keith McBride (RB, Lodi, Wis.). The class also includes four-year players Freedom McCullough (DB, Los Angeles, Calif.) Joshua Perea (DB, Pico Rivera, Calif.), Andrew Steinfeldt (RB, Green Bay, Wis.), Jonique Andrews (DL, Oakland, Calif.) and Nataki Morris (DB, Orlando, Fla.). In addition, threeyear member Tevin Kellum (DB, Detroit, Mich.) has been a staple for the Golden Eagles. Two-year transfers Ricky Jacobs (LB, Junction City, Kan.), Paul Webster (DB, Opa-Locka, Fla.) and Tyler Bos (DL, Larchwood, Iowa) round out the Golden Eagle class. Running For Records • UMC senior running back Keith McBride (Sr., RB, Lodi, Wis./Management) is etching his name in the record books for his career as he currently ranks fifth all-time at UMC for rushing yards with 2,072 yards and needs just 218 rushing yards to move past Derrick Sanders in fourth place. In addition, McBride is third all-time in rushing attempts with 519. He needs just 25 carries to move past Richard Haley in second place. In addition, McBride ranks fourth all-time for rushing touchdowns with 15 and needs just two to move past Derrick Sanders in third place. Chasing Three • The Golden Eagles will be chasing their third win this weekend. If the Golden Eagles are able to get three or more wins this season it will mark the first time since 2001 when the Golden Eagles picked up four wins on the season. UMC has already won four NSIC games in the last two seasons, which is the most wins the Golden Eagles have had in back-to-back seasons since 2000 and 2001 when they had 10. The Golden Eagles have two more chances this season at home against Northern State and on the road against U-Mary.
