As a freshman, he was converted into a running back.
As a sophomore in 1977, Newsome rushed for 998 yards and 14 touchdowns.
The 1977 and 1978 football teams, which were coached by Bill Hayes, were two of the best teams in school history.
They went undefeated each season and were led by Newsome and fellow running backs Arrington Jones and Randy Bolton, employing the Veer offense.
Those Rams teams dominated their competition.
In 1977, they went 11–0 but bypassed the Division II playoffs to play in the Gold Bowl in Richmond, Virginia, where they lost to South Carolina State University 10–7.
As a junior in 1978, he posted 1,377 rushing yards (second in Division II), a 7.5-yard average and 14 touchdowns.
