Breakdown of 2018 UNT signees by position

[Harry]

Looks like a linebacker heavy class.

QB - 2
RB - 1
WR - 2
TE - 0
OL - 2
DL - 3
LB - 5
DB - 4
ATH - 0
Special Teams - 0

One of those LB's is not like the others.  Will be interesting if they try to slim him (Saafi) down and play LB or keep his current weight and play DL.

Kicker?  What's the story on the young man from Keller?

He listed as DL on the official roster. With the departure of Tillman/Flusche I won't surprised to see him stay there.

The focus on this is on actual signees.  We can certainly address blue shirts and PWO’s as well.

Really, it's just a defense heavy class.  

....and thank goodness!  Hopefully we've got a lot of keepers here and we can go for more balance next year, across the board.

I was surprised they only signed 2 wide receivers.  Seems like in this offense you could get away with signing 3-4 every year.

Betting he's a JACK.

Not when all your starting WR's of a record setting offense are all sophomores. Gives you a little more wiggle room to shore up the Defense.

Saafi should be a DL, with McMillian likely being the Jack, I would hope. 

McMillian is the same size as Wheeler which I was shocked Wheeler was recruited at 255, he looked lighter than that.

Plus plenty of room for walk on receivers in this system. Not too many walk on DTs and DEs.

I thought he was listed at 225 while he was here.

I thought that as well, but 24/7 had him as 255, I believe..
