Great Googly Moogly... 
I want this guy.   I like how he just pops up and walks back to the LOS after a TFL or sack like it's just a normal play for him.

He also has a great football name.

Great video.  Love his quickness and burst off the ball.  Midway is another good program that we should establish a pipeline with.

[MeanGreen13]

this dude is REAL!!! wow. 

[Harry]

Extremely impressed.

[BTG_Fan1]

Could you image a DL rotation of Hambone, English with Noviel,Tibbs, and Jaxon?

He also blows up the LOS

[Cerebus]

Would love to sign this player.  

His first move won't be so effective at this level where everyone will be stronger and longer, but if he puts the work in he could make a big impact.

Added offers to Air Force, Houston Baptist, La- Mo, U Mass, and SFA.  Still like our chances.

Hopefully he doesn't have out of this world test scores ACT/SAT and Northwestern stays away.  He seems like their type.

Now rated a .822 3 star by 247

Offers ( in order ) 

2/27 UCA, 3/2 Tx State, 3/7 Tulsa, 3/23 UNT, 4/27 ULM, 5/2 SFA, 5/3 HBU, 5/4 UMASS/Air Force, 5/17 New Mexico St, 5/22 UIW/ULALA, 6/2 UTSA 

 

247 I'm 90 percent sure is wrong has him listed as 8-6a Defensive MVP 

his hudl says 12-6a first team defense, 1st team super CenTex, hon-mention AP ALL class 6a.   

 

Quick internet search of Waco Tribune shows he win Defensive Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore but nothing for 16 season.

I would really love to see this young man in Denton.  He should be target #1 in my book.  I also hate seeing new posts in this thread, as I always think he has committed somewhere.

[BTG_Fan1]

Just gotta hope that Combs does something up in NY, and English and Young have a solid year. 

That happens, I think it helps us land some DL like Player.

CRAP!!!  This guy was one of my favorite targets on the board.
This is the kind of battle we desperately needed to win... and we didn't lose him to a TCU/Tech/KSSt-type low-rung P5 school...   We lost to friggin Tulsa!

[UNTLifer]

This is a bad recruiting loss. It is time we start locking up some of these young men. 

[p_phelps]

Shaping up much like the previous class... Littrell isn't a recruiter.. that's a fact.. good coach yes, recruiter..no

[unt_rocket09]

This dude can play 

[BTG_Fan1]

It is still a long way from NSD. UNT should have an impressive DL that should be able to get pressure and stop the run. Also, hopefully more it will lead to improved defense and those rankings will help us get recruits.
