The St. Louis Battlehawks have dealt with a couple of tough injuries over the last week, leading to more personnel changes. RB Kevon Latulas has re-signed with the team, to replace Mataeo Durant who was placed on the injured reserve list.

Kevon Latulas was an offseason signing for St. Louis. He’s a rather intriguing prospect out of Missouri State. The shifty, strong running back put his talents on display at Missouri State, especially during his final couple of seasons.
Latulas stands at 6 feet, 215 pounds. In his three years at Missouri State, he compiled 1,029 rushing yards alongside six touchdowns. He averaged an impressive 7.15 YPC in college. Additionally, Kevon made an impact on special teams, and through the air, with 458 receiving yards and 4 TD’s.

Now, Latulas will have an opportunity to prove himself as RB3, despite having been let go previously in Training Camp.
It’s really unfortunate to see Mataeo Durant get placed on the injured reserve. Durant was having an excellent season for the Battlehawks, and was positioning himself as RB1. After being inactive in week one, Durant broke out for over 100 yards in their win against Arlington – helping put the game away late.
Mataeo got injured early in week four against Memphis, and did not return. He’s likely done for the season, finishing with 134 rushing yards and a touchdown.
