2009: Appeared in five games for the Rams with one start...Caught two passes for 41 yards and one touchdown with a long of 23 yards for an average of 20.5 yards per catch and an average of 8.2 all-purpose yards per game...Missed the final two games of the season after hyper-extending his knee versus Delaware State on Nov. 7...While sidelining the promising tight end for the final two contests of the season, the knee injury was not serious and did not require surgery.

Personal: Austin Higgins is a 6-3, 260-pound tight end from Atkins high school in Winston-Salem, N.C...A two-sport star for the Camels, he was also a member of the Atkins HS basketball team...A big, strong and fast athlete, Higgins will provide the Rams with a talent at the tight end position who can not only use his size to block but can provide the Rams with a pass-catching threat in a dynamic offensive system...The son of Aretha Williams...Born on May 7, 1991.
