Breaking: Butler CC LB Chavez Brown Commits to North Texas

[TheReal_jayD]

The 6'3 225 lbs. WR turned LB from Butler Community College committed tonight. Chavez has been visiting North Texas the last two days. Coach Kratch was his man recruiter. Give Coach Kratch and co. for turning over ever rock. This addition gets me excited. Chavez is familiar to the LB position. It was the position he played in HS. He will arrive in Denton on June 3rd with 3 years of eligibility left. North Texas lost alot of production at the LB position. Coach Caponi and Coach Kratch have choosen the Juco route to try to fill that void. North Texas has add Blinn JC LB CJ Garnett as well.

So he was also a WR?

 

Not sure if he can play LB or not, but he is certainly atheltic!

So this is a scholarship player, assuming this tweet refers to Brown?

I am thinking this guy is a diamond in the rough. He barely played defense last year, but showed flashes of athleticism in his spring tape. Quick at diagnosing plays, and getting to the ball carrier. He has 3 years of eligibility left, maybe they give him a year to develop into an FBS LB, and then next year he's in the LB rotation. 

Last year, he was listed at 6'3 180 pounds WR. If he is truly 225, that is impressive.

It looks like at least a couple of these JUCOs are Full Qualifiers who played one year and might not have been planning on leaving yet, and the staff has seen something in them and hopefully got to them a year before others came after them.
