Mason Fine / Ryan Finley

[jdennis82]

Came across an interesting tidbit about our Mean Green reading Dane Brugler's NFL Draft guide.  According to Brugler, in the spring of 2016 when QB Ryan Finley was choosing his transfer destination when leaving Boise State, he'd narrowed the decision down to NC State and North Texas.  This appears to be corroborated by USA Today (LINK) .

The QB Timeline appears to look something like this...

• Dec '15: Alec Morris agrees to transfer to North Texas
• Jan '16: Mason Fine commits to North Texas
• May '16: Ryan Finley transfers to NC State

I know we'd all keep things as they played out but it's fascinating to wonder if Finley had landed in Denton, how things would have shaken out.

FinIey's OC Eliah Drinkwitz from Boise State went to NC State, and that influenced his decision to transfer there.

 

Speaking of Dane Brugler's draft guide, there are a few North Texas guys mentioned. He doesn't have any of them projected to get drafted but does list Brooks and Guyton as priority free agents.
