STEPHENVILLE, Texas – The Tarleton football team has added another player to the roster as Marcoreyon Bubba Tandy transfers to the team and will be set to play this fall Tarleton head football coach Cary Fowler has announced.

“Bubba has the ability to break a game open,” said Fowler. “He is a big-play threat not only as a wide receiver but also as a kick returner. Bubba was also a great defensive player in high school. We plan to use him on the offensive side of the ball.”
 
Tandy was named the Kentucky Class 5-A Player of the Year in 2011. His career totals include having 102 receptions for 1,615 yards and 14 touchdowns, to go along with nearly 1,000 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns on the ground. He returned six punts for touchdowns in his career, which includes scoring four of those punt returns in one game.
 
A multitalented athlete that can play on both sides of the ball, Tandy tallied four interceptions his senior season, returning one for a touchdown while leading his high school squad to the state finals for the second time.
 
Tandy gives the Texans six junior college transfers moved to the squad in addition to the 26 high school recruits that signed national letters-of-intent.
 
Tarleton is coming off a 6-4 season under Fowler, who will begin his fourth season at the helm of the Texan football program this fall.
