Vito Identifies potential football transfer

Harry · April 12, 2012

Reggie Pegram, a running back who spent the first two seasons of his career at Purdue, visited UNT's practice on Wednesday afternoon and is strongly considering transferring to the school.

Pegram is the cousin of former UNT greats Erric Pegram and Brandon Kennedy.
"It's close to home and I have taken a look at their offense on film," Pegram said. "I like what they do."

while we can take all the transfers from BIG 6 programs we can take.... I am a slight bit underwhelmed by his stats on top of the fact that his offers were from Purdue, NT and Buffalo. We are solid at RB for years to come.... I hope that he has a hidden DB talent.

How can you say we're solid at RB when the ones we have haven't really even played?

Not as big time as I was hoping....

The article claims that he had offers from A&M and Okie State.

Vito is using the word star very loosely, however he does look like he could be a good pick up. If he is anything like his cousins, watch out. Everyone knows about Booger, but Erric Pegram was also one of the best running backs ever at NT. Not great stats because he played on awful teams, but he was the real deal. In fact, I would rate him as good as Dunbar and Cobbs.

Pegram was also a decent running back with the Steelers.

Sorry . . . I was referring to the article Harry posted in the other thread.

Pegram is only a 2-star commitment from Texas, but he had some pretty good offers on the table. Oklahoma State and Texas A&M were his best offers other than Purdue.

When will he be eligible and for how many years?

He would have to sit out a year and then have 2 to play

A sign of the times.... having players WANT to transfer to UNT.

Very very true. I love getting transfers as long as they have 2+ yrs of eligibility left

He visited practice Wednesday ? Is he not in school ? Could Purdue be on Spring Break this week ? It looks like he got plenty of playing time his freshman season. I wonder why he is considering transfering to North Texas ?

Actually Pegram played on teams that we're consistently ranked in the top 10 in 1AA. Those were damn good teams. He had a decent career with the Falcons & Steelers.
