Gerritt Prince knew it was time for his number to be called. Facing a 4th-and-2 at the opponent's 6-yard line, the redshirt senior tight end lined up to the left side of the formation and casually motioned to the right with the wave of the quarterback's hand. Prince found the right flat deprived of defenders following the snap, corralled the ball into his hands and strolled into the end zone with an outstretched arm for the first of his two receiving touchdowns in the game. The Blazers rolled up more than 450 yards of offense and featured the tight ends frequently in a 45-35 win over the Central Arkansas Bears tonight at Legion Field in Birmingham. "It felt good," Prince said. "It was something I've been waiting for a long time, to get my opportunity. First, I have to thank my teammates and the offensive line. Without them, none of that happens." Prince hauled in four catches for 31 yards and the two scores from quarterback Tyler Johnston and the position itself was targeted nine total times with Prince and fellow senior Hayden Pittman combining for 68 yards on seven receptions. - Birmingham Post Herald

History was made once again at Legion Field on Thursday night as UAB set the Conference USA record with its 19th consecutive home victory, defeating Central Arkansas 45-35. The 19 wins in a row broke a tie with former C-USA member Houston who won 18 games from 2007-10, and the nation's fourth longest active home winning streak is still intact. UAB (1-0) put up 459 yards of total offense and used a well-balanced attack, with 226 yards coming through the air and 233 on the ground. UAB's career leading rusher Spencer Brown had his 14th career 100-yard rushing game, going for 127 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. Jermaine Brown added 75 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Lucious Stanley pitched in with 25 yards and a touchdown.

The Blazers used a two-quarterback system with redshirt junior Tyler Johnston III and redshirt freshman Bryson Lucero. Johnston III finished 17-of-25 for 143 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Lucero was 7-of-9 for 83 yards and threw his first career passing touchdown. Austin Watkins Jr. led the receivers with seven catches for 72 yards, while Myron Mitchell had four catches for 47 yards and a touchdowns. The Blazers also featured their tight ends as Gerrit Prince set career highs with four catches for 31 yards and two touchdowns, and Hayden Pittman had three catches for 37 yards. Kristopher Moll led the defense with eight tackles, two pass breakups and two quarterback hurries. - UAB Football

09/02/20 - Justin Thomas, rSr/2022, Alabama-Birmingham, 6-3, 268 (DS#60 DE) + More +

Former LSU defensive end Justin Thomas has transferred to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The 6-foot-5, 256-pound junior has enrolled on campus, a UAB official said, and he will have to sit out the season due to transfer rules. Thomas was entering preseason camp as a possible starter in LSU's new 4-3 defense, but, on the second day of camp, Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said Thomas left the team for undisclosed reasons. "Justin Thomas will not be with us," Orgeron said then. "He left the team, and we wish him the best." Thomas primarily appeared in depth roles last season, when he played in five games and recorded eight tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss. He started against Vanderbilt, when starting defensive ends Rashard Lawrence and Glen Logan were both out with injuries, and Thomas recorded a sack and tackle for loss. - Baton Rouge Advocate
