  Former Millard West Wildcat makes LA Rams roster
  UPDATED 5:23 PM CDT Sep 07, 2016
  Former Millard West and Northwest Missouri State student Matt Longacre has once again made the Los Angeles Rams roster.
  When final cuts trimmed the roster to 53, Longacre remained, qualifying for the active roster. He spent much of last season on the practice squad, but was activated in early November, playing in five games and contributing 11 tackles."Each practice I wanted to produce, put some good film out there," Longacre told the Orange County Register. "Just try to be a factor on every play."Pro Football Focus named Longacre one of the biggest contributors in the preseason. While at Millard West, Longacre was a key contributor on the 2008 team, which went 13-0 and won the Class A state championship. At Northwest Missouri State, he was named an All-American and the conference's defensive player of the year. Tweet
