Ends have become tackles. Linebackers have become ends. Safeties have become linebackers.

And one recruit who fits that description, who may/may not have been on our target is Brayden Burnett, 6'3", 240 lbs DE from Southlake Carroll who runs a 4.6 40. He just committed over the weekend to play at Missouri. :angry: I guess we can't expect to get every SLC prospect??

I guess those kids in Southlake have become so acustom to winning in high school that they wanna keep doing it in college.
