And Fred Scott. But come on Dajon Williams being a 2.

I should have clarified, I meant among the players they gave ratings to yesterday. Nonetheless, two 3* offensive lineman(Hunter Siddons/ESPN) is not too shabby.

I'd also like to add that John Schilleci was a steal and if we can hang on to him he'll be a player here. Work ethic is second to none and he's about as physical as you could ask for in a DB.

Has Fred Scott as a fullback. I wonder if we will try to use him there seeing that we are stacked at linebacker and we are using a fullback more and more in our offense.

I saw this young man at one of the games earlier in the season, and he was a bit bigger than I was expecting him to be. Good sign. Hope he can run. He should be able to handle himself as far as being a physical db. Hope he has the speed he needs to get it done.

I remember the mighty JQ wasn't the fastest guy out there when he first came to North Texas, but he worked at it relentlessly and we all know how good he was. From what I have heard this kid has the same type of work ethic.

On rivals i noticed 3 of 4 olinemen and 2-3 other players were the highest grade 2 star. Hopefully after senior year updates they all get bumped up. There are a lot of offers out to 3 star players who are uncommitted as well.

I haven't noticed a player being used as a fullback in terms of carrying the ball but we have used tight ends as a blocking back more and more. I believe, in Fred Scott's case, that he was recruited as a linebacker.

Last year, this site rated the top 250 Texas high school recruits 3 stars or above. There are less than 400 signings in Texas, so obviously being rated a three by 247 is not a big achievement. All services seem to give out more threes every year, but none close to 247.

Maybe a three is more meaningful this year,but I wouldn't bet on it.

Yeah, that's the thankless job of being a true fullback. Scott is well under 6' tall so that's why I think a position switch could be a possibility, and the fact that we are stacked at linebacker. He will be given a shot at linebacker first, I just wouldn't be surprised to see him get moved and it is something to keep an eye on at the very least.
