Ray Woodard Announces Texas A&M Transfer Billy Chavis To Play Football At Lamar
Beaumont native earned two varsity letters for the Aggies
June 3, 2009
Lamar head football coach Ray Woodard has announced that former Beaumont West Brook standout Billy Chavis has transferred to Lamar and will be a member of the school's football program beginning this fall.
Chavis has spent the last two seasons at Texas A&M where he appeared in 11 games under coaches Dennis Franchione and Mike Sherman. He saw playing time on the defensive side of the ball, logging action at defensive end, linebacker and safety for the Aggies.
He collected four tackles as a true freshman in 2007, including three solos and forced a fumble at Miami and one assisted stop against Penn State in the Alamo Bowl. As a sophomore he made three tackles while seeing time against Kansas, Oklahoma and Baylor.
"We are getting a good player but a player who wants to come home," Woodard said. "That's why we brought football back - to get young men from this area who want to play football."
