Texas receiver learns to love football

Playing football was hardly on sophomore receiver Loic Fouonji's mind when he and his family moved to the United States in 2008 from soccer-happy Cameroon.

"When I first moved here, I wasn't really interested in football until my friend's dad put me on the team and saw what I could do," Fouonji said.

He soon got the football bug when he started running into the end zone.

"I used to play running back back then, so I used to score a lot of touchdowns and stuff," Fouonji said.

Fouonji, 6-4, 186, of Midland (Texas) Lee, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Texas Tech, SMU and Kansas along with interest from others.
