Kelvin Ume - Football commit to WCU

Kelvin Ume



Height/Weight: 6-2, 253
Class of 2013
Hometown: Kennesaw, Ga.
School: North Cobb High School
Position: Defensive Tackle



Defensive lineman Kelvin Ume verbally committed to Western Carolina this week.

Ume said he felt a bond similar to what he had with his North Cobb teammates when he visited the Catamounts’ campus and that is what led to his decision to choose Western Carolina over Georgia Southern, Fordham, Buffalo and Eastern Kentucky.

The Catamounts will rely on Ume to perform similarly to how he did at North Cobb, and that’s to split time at defensive end and defensive tackle. Ume also said there are no plans for him to sit out a year as a redshirt, with the coaching staff wanting him to come prepared and battle for a position right away.
