Laker football nabs ex-Bronco

Grand Valley State football will be receiving a new addition to the team in the form of former Western Michigan offensive lineman Josh Bass. Bass, a former recruit who was sought by several Division 1 programs, decided to leave the Western Michigan football team after dealing with a serious bacterial infection that caused him to go into a coma and experience severe weight loss. Bass is healthy again, and has elected to use the rest of his three years of eligibility in Laker blue, black and white. Bass has already begun classes, and will be ready to play this fall.
