'THUNDER AND LIGHTNING': Staples move aims to provide WKU depth at RB

The weather caused disruptions for two of Western Kentucky's workouts last week – on Wednesday practice was cut short, and Friday it got moved earlier in the day.

Malik Staples is predicting more storms around Houchens-Smith Stadium this fall.

The redshirt senior appeared in all 13 games at linebacker last year for the Hilltoppers and is making the move to running back this fall, where he hopes to add depth and complement returning leading rusher Gaej Walker.

"Man, I like to say it like this – thunder and lightning," Staples said in Friday's post-practice Zoom conference with reporters.
