The Ball State football team has added two transfers for the 2014 season.
Bruce Heggie, a defensive lineman from Notre Dame, and Julian Jackson, a defensive lineman from El Camino Community, will both play for head coach Pete Lembo this upcoming season.
“We are pleased to welcome Bruce and Julian to the Ball State football family,” Lembo said in a statement. “It has been a real pleasure getting to know both young men and their families over the last several months. Both of these student-athletes are here because they really liked how they fit in with our players and coaches when they visited the campus.”
In four seasons at Notre Dame, Heggie played in nine games for the Fighting Irish, with four of them coming his senior year. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Heggie has one year of college eligibility remaining.
As a sophomore at El Camino Community College, Jackson registered 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries on his way to being named the team’s Most Improved Player. Jackson was named to the All-Central Conference Second Team.
