TE Fine moving up list

By Staff     Apr 15, 2004

There was one major surprise Wednesday when Kansas University football coach Mark Mangino released his first depth chart of the spring. Sophomore tight end Derek Fine, who strictly was a special-teams player last season, has moved ahead of returning senior starter Lyonel Anderson and senior Brandon Watkins.

“He’s gotten a ton of work,” offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro said of Fine. “He’s got football instincts. He has a good burst and runs well.”

Sophomore Charles Gordon, meanwhile, remains No. 1 at cornerback and flanker. Mangino has not yet decided which side of the ball Gordon — who also returns punts — will devote most of his time to next fall.

KU wraps up spring drills with a 3 p.m. scrimmage Sunday at Memorial Stadium.
