USF Football Names Its Team Captains

USF players voted on team captains for the upcoming season on Friday and Bulls that will be leading the charge next Saturday will be senior wide receiver Andre Davis (offense), senior linebacker Reshard Cliett (defense) and senior kicker Marvin Kloss (special teams).

“Our team picked three guys that I think can lead this football. I think it says a lot, especially when we as coaches don’t have any influence on who gets picked. It’s all by their peers,” Taggart said. “Like I tell our guys, I think that’s the best award you can get is being voted by your teammates to be the captain to lead the football team. I can tell those guys were excited, that’s big-time.”

Davis is on the verge of breaking every major receiving record in the program history after earning all-state honors three times at Tampa’s Jefferson High School. Davis already owns USF records for consecutive games with a reception (30) and consecutive 100-yard games (3). Last season’s offensive MVP ranks third on USF’s career list in receiving yards (1,542) and receptions (117), and he’s fourth on the career touchdown catch list with 10 heading into next Saturday.

USF Football

Cliett, a redshirt senior from Thomasville, Ga., had a standout season in 2013, ranking second on the team with 56 total tackles along with 7.0 tackles for loss and a sack. Cliett has posted 101 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and three sacks in 31 games as a Bull since 2011.

Taggart said captains on special teams will rotate throughout the season starting with Kloss, who became a Groza Award finalist last season in his first opportunity as USF’s primary placekicker. The Naples, Fla., native earned a spot on the Groza Award Watch List this preseason after leading the nation with 11 field goals of 40 yards or more and four from 50-plus yards.

Kloss also set a USF record with 13 consecutive made field goals, including kicks from 52, 50, 50, 50, 49, 49 and 47 yards, and he made at least one field goal in nine games on the way to becoming the first-ever Bull to be named a finalist for a major college football award.

Taggart had the honor of being a team captain during his record-breaking career as a quarterback at Western Kentucky and USF’s leading man told the Bulls’ newest captains to savor the moment.

“Not often do you get a chance to be the captain of a football team and when you get the opportunity you have to take advantage of it,” Taggart said.
