Former Red Tornado star Rashaud Mungro (Class of '04) has been named the Spotlight Athlete of the Week by the official Eastern Kentucky athletics website. Mungro (6'5" 278) is a 5th-year senior for the Colonels and will be fighting for a starting position on the offensive line in pre-season practice after a couple of years as a backup. The Colonels swept the Ohio Valley Conference in 2007 with an 8-0 record before falling to Richmond in the first round of the FCS playoffs. Richmond was eventually ousted by Appalachian State.Rashaud was asked five random questions including this one: "Five years from now, I will remember this from my EKU football experience..."
Rashaud answered this way: "Change is good. Most people get worried and doubtful when change happens, but I think that it always works out for the best."
One example of change for Rashaud and the Colonels was the loss of head coach Danny Hope in the off-season. Hope left to join the staff at Purdue as the offensive line coach. Current Purdue skipper Joe Tiller will retire after the 2008 season and has named Hope as his successor.
According to Rashaud's roster bio he had a solid off-season this past spring and his coaches expect big things from him in fall camp. Rashaud has the ability to compete for playing time at both guard and tackle in 2008.
Rashaud was a 2-time All-Conference player in high school and helped lead the Tornadoes to a 10-3 record in his senior season.
