Texas State sophomore running back Frank Reddic didn't know he'd be called upon so much last season. Reddic, who planned to redshirt, was fourth on the depth chart at the beginning of fall camp and then moved up to third by the start of 2009.
Once Karrington Bush went down with an injury in the first game of the season, former Bobcats co-offensive coordinator Travis Bush told Reddic it was time to get his feet wet.
Reddic scored a touchdown against Angelo State and went on to reach pay dirt five more times in 2009. He carried the ball 53 times for 206 yards with a long of 24.
In 2010, Reddic will be one of the featured running backs in the Texas State offense.
On seeing his name at the top of the depth chart: "It feels great. I didn't take a look at it before, but knowing how much the coaches respect me gives me a lot of confidence."
On how playing as a true freshman last season will help him in 2010: "It made the transition a little easier and got the worry out of my mind if I was ready to play. Now I know the speed of the game and how to read defenses. Overall, it's another year of football knowledge in my head."
On the team being picked third or fourth in the Southland Conference: "To us, that really doesn't matter. What matters is what we do on the field on Saturdays and how we show up. At the end of the season and when the playoffs come around, they'll know about us."
