CANYON \u2013 Quarterback Jonah McCown of Jacksonville has transferred to West Texas A&M University (NCAA Division II, Lone Star Conference).<\/p>\n

Last season, McCown (6\u20191\u201d, 170 pounds) played for Limestone College in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

During the off season, the university suspended its football program for financial reasons, forcing players to find another institution to attend in order to continue to play football.<\/p>\n

McCown, who played high school football at Brook Hill, is one of six East Texans on the West Texas A&M roster.<\/p>\n

He joins wide receivers Corey Simon (Crockett), Zach Phipps (Diboll), Montrel Hatten (Carthage), Marcus Field (Lindale) and Tej Bryant (Mexia).<\/p>\n

West Texas A&M, finished 5-6 overall and 5-4 in LSC play last season.<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes are slated to open the season at 7 p.m., Aug. 28 by visiting Western Colorado University.<\/p>\n

At 7 p.m. Sept. 13, West Texas A&M will travel to Silver City, New Mexico to take on Western New Mexico University in its conference lid lifter.<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes are coached by Josh Lynn.<\/p>\n
