Beat out Texas State, Navy, and a few FCS schools. Decent film, and much needed depth on the DL.

6’1 260 with offers from TX State and Navy. Seems like a good get.

Good get.  I predict in 2 to 4 years we'll be really glad this kid chose UNT.

Like his nasty factor.  Guy would be an OU recruit if he was a couple inches taller.

[Graddean]

Well-spoken young man.

There’s several on there that I would be all over.

[Hunter Green]

Can he sign now or wait till February?

[UNT86]

I think today was the last day.

If he didn't sign today, I think he has to wait until the first Wed in Feb.

Love this kids tape.. he is a bit heavier than Hambone but they look body type wise the same kid.. very excited for him

[TreeFiddy]

Today was last day for HS players.  JC players can sign up through 1/15.  

[Felozano]

Not that I’m a great evaluator of talent, but I liked his motor. Always pursued the ball. Never seemed to stop.

I guess that's a day too late to sign immediately?

Or wait... when he committed it was still friday... couldn't he have signed right then, I thought the early signing period only ended friday night?

He has a PWO offer from OU to play fullback for what it’s worth

I think those must be fake size/speed numbers.  Looked the kid up and he appears to have no offers and is not even rated (even 2 stars) by any of the services (maybe I am completely overlooking, but could not find anything).  I did see where he has a PWO from OU to play fullback.  Not sure what the story is here because it sure seems like he could play in CUSA. 

Anybody that can put up those kinds of numbers seems like they might be worth a shot, even if it is just special teams.  Based on our LB play last year, it would be very hard to see how he wouldn't be in the mix. 

Something seems off here.
