1). WR William Cole (5-10, 165, 4.5) Cedar Hill – Cole was one of the top recruits in the State of Texas two years ago, signing with Oklahoma State out of high school.

3). DE Aaron Bellazin (6-2, 230), Everman – Offers from SMU, New Mexico, San Diego State, Buffalo, ULM, SFA and UTEP. A quick, punishing defender that has a nose for the ball. Right now, Bellazin is UNT’s top defensive recruit on the board. Read the rest of this entry »
