Adds to RB depth.Could become another Tyler Kirchoff-quick,shifty and tough.

always glad to see a legacy Spider and it's even better when it's a football player...I only vaguely remember Ganon's dad's name

...it's my opinion the University could and should have a more aggressive legacy program for sons and daughters of alumni....but back to football

now if Ganon does develop into another TK he will be fun to watch and enjoy a good Spider career...good luck taking that first step this season....

Go Spiders!
