After missing 2 years, Melton excited to play again

TROY — Kamryn Melton can only imagine how he’ll feel at Troy’s season opener Saturday.

It’s been three years since a knee injury ended his freshman season at Auburn and more than a year since he transferred to Troy. After sitting out to meet NCAA transfer requirements, Melton is a projected starter at cornerback.

“I’m really blessed,” Melton said. “I know when I got out there, I’ll be very emotional inside.
