Scout's Greg Powers compliments UNT Football Program

This year should be a good indicator of that question. Looks like we're going to sign a lot of linemen this year, on both sides of the ball. As for last year, not very highly rated d-line signees, but they look promising. Tillman Johnson lived in the backfield and had 37 TFLs and TJ Tauaalo was honorable mention all-state at DT.

Fun fact: Offensive lineman Chris Miles had the most offers (listed) of all our 2014 signees.
