Johnavon Grahm, a defensive end from DeSoto, became the first player to commit to UNT for its 2014 recruiting class tonight.

Grahm (6-1, 250) was a first-team All-District 7-5A selection last season. UNT was the first team to offer him a scholarship, although several other schools were showing interest. He was recruited by Ryan Walters, UNTs new cornerbacks coach.

UNT has a signed a host of players from DeSoto over the last few years, including linebacker Zach Orr, who played a key role in recruiting Graham.

After talking to coach Walters and Zach Orr, I felt like North Texas is a good fit for me, Grahm said. I fit into their scheme, can make their defensive line better and become a leader.

No. 2 – Can Derek Thompson get it done?

I’m sitting in a log cabin out in a state park in East Texas on vacation, pondering the future of UNT football. Ok, not really, but I am taking a couple of minutes to jump back on the blog to continue our off-season questions series.

Today, we ponder UNT’s quarterback situation and Derek Thompson.

Thompson put up some pretty impressive numbers last season, throwing for 2,649 yards and 14 touchdowns. He threw for 200 yards in seven straight games.

Was Thompson perfect? No.

No quarterback ever is.

Was he pretty good at times? Yeah.

Thompson threw for 333 yards against Louisiana-Monroe, 316 against Arkansas State and 282 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette, including hitting Antoinne Jimmerson with a short pass he turned into a 78-yard touchdown catch.

The problem was that Thompson also made a few key mistakes, including an interception Jonathan Dowling returned for a touchdown that turned the tide in a season-ending 25-loss to Western Kentucky.
