Something's wrong

I read this sentence/paragraph two or three times and realized there's a first name missing.

Virginia redshirt junior Ausar Walcott replaced fifth-year senior (?) as the starter at strong-side linebacker Saturday at Indiana, a move Coach Mike London said Sunday was due in part to Walcott’s improved play and in part to health issues that kept Taliaferro at less than 100 percent. 

The fifth-year senior is Aaron Taliaferro; I looked it up.

By the way, that sentence could easily be two sentences.

Virginia redshirt junior Ausar Walcott replaced fifth-year senior Aaron Taliaferro as the starter at strong-side linebacker Saturday at Indiana. The move was made, Coach Mike London said Sunday, was due in part to Walcott’s improved play and in part to health issues for Taliaferro. 

It's way easier to read, and we have Taliaferro's name in there.
