A transfer walking into a new football locker room and become a team captain in the span of roughly three months is a rarity.
Performing rare moments, however, has been a bit of a constant for Blake Gotcher in his semester-plus at Northwestern State, which continues at 3 p.m. Saturday at No. 13/14 Southeast Missouri State.
Gotcher, a junior who transferred from fellow Southland Conference member Lamar, has become a linchpin of the Demon defense in his first season in Natchitoches – none more so than in his first two home games.
