A 6-foot, 195-pound senior defensive back from Lubbock, Kaleb helped the Pioneers to a 38-18 road win over Texas College by grabbing two of Wayland’s program-record seven interceptions. Kaleb, who has seven career INTs, also was credited with a tackle and a pass break-up against the Steers.
 
Kaleb was part of a defensive effort that, according to statistics kept by WBU coaches, allowed Texas College 136 total yards, including no rushing yards on 19 attempts and 136 passing yards on 10-of-49 attempts. The Pioneers allowed just one third-down conversion in 20 attempts and one fourth-down conversion on six tries.

Kaleb last year was All-SAC Honorable Mention, CoSIDA Academic All-American and an NAIA Scholar-Athlete.
