SAN MARCOS, Texas — Following recent touchdown-assisting cameos at fullback, starting defensive end Caleb Spurlin enjoyed reviewing film of the blocks he produced and the paths he cleared.

It's natural for an in-the-trenches defender to seek out contact, as Spurlin has done on two sacks already this season. Going back to his high school days, though, he doesn't mind finding open spaces and scoring.

A former walk-on playing in his 46th college game and wearing No. 97, Spurlin hauled in a 1-yard touchdown pass Saturday on his first career offensive touch.
