As a freshman in 2015, Fossum held field goals and extra points and was finally given the opportunity to return a kickoff in the Apple Cup when he brought it out 48-yards. The coaches took notice as they had him at that role last season where he had 6 kick returns for 138-yards and 15 punt returns for 151-yards and had one touchdown.

This will not be the last we see of Fossum in Martin Stadium however as the Cougars will host Nevada on September 23rd during week 4 of next season. Alex Marguiles from mynews4.com reports that Fossum will be eligible to play immediately next season for Nevada because he was a walk-on for the Cougars.
