I think he signed. This tweet came from the football team's Twitter.

https://247sports.com/Player/Devin-Strange-46097450/ https://www.hudl.com/profile/11805517/Devin-Strange He has the size to play at this level 6'3 235. First team All-District 6-6A DE. It looks like he was at Argyle Christian in 2020 and then transferred back to Flower Mound Marcus. I just watched his highlights. I was impressed with how he fought off blocks and made several tackles. However, there were a few plays where he got tangled up with OL and was kind of slow to react. He will need to probably improve his strength so he can fight off FBS OL. He did seem a little slow coming off the ball. I mean it could be due to the defense that Marcus was running. A lot of the high schools run zone read/RPO plays, so he could have been coached to stay home instead of rushing the QB every play. I see why the coaching staff went after him. After a few years of coaching and bulking up in the weight room, he could be on the rotation in the DL. Size is one thing that you can't coach, and he already has a good frame. I hope he works hard and earns a scholarship.

Also had offers from ULM and Incarnate Word. He was getting interest from big schools but a knee injury derailed him.

I'm thinking based on the graphic this might be a walk on, but I could be wrong. Either way, always good to get local guys on the team.

Offers from Alabama St and Charlotte. He ran a 4.38 40 according to his Twitter.

He flies to the ball. I got Marcus Trice vibes watching his film. Very nice addition to the defense. Welcome aboard Dietrich!

JD beat me too it. I just saw this tweet as well. Hopefully it's on the defensive side of the ball.

I think re-calibrating is the proper term for this year. We have a lot of pieces in place already. New QB, C, LB, S and K/P. I'm sure there are a few additional changes, but these are the few that stick out.

I just watched his game against Texas State. ULM was terrible on defense. Their offense was pretty good. Almost every play I watched, the ball was out of his hand within 3 seconds. He also was pretty good at evading pressure and using his legs to get a first down. There were a couple of plays where his WR was wide open and he got a little excited and overthrew his WR. He will need to work on adding a little touch to his throws. Overall, I'm still very excited about this pick up.

I found his junior highlights from high school. I see why Texas Tech went after him. He was great at securing the edge on running plays. There were several plays where he was able to cut off the DEs and the RB or QB was able to gain several yards. I also noticed him doing well chip blocking. He would get a piece of the DE and then run up field and block a LB. He did well pass blocking against the high school DL. I’m sure this has improved from his time at Tech. https://247sports.com/Video/Junior-Season-Highlights-9036184/ Prettt impressive offer list out of HS: Texas Tech, Kansas, Colorado St, Georgia Tech, Houston, UL LA, ULM, NM St, Oklahoma St, SMU, Tulsa, Toledo, TX Southern, Tulane, UTSA, and Utah State https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Larry-Moore-124969/RecruitInterests/

I’m up early smoking a brisket, so I have a lot of time on my hands. I just watched his tape and I was impressed by his run blocking. He is not afraid to get in a 3 point stance and block down on a LB or DE. I liked the effort he was giving on runs that were several yards down field. He was still sprinting downfield looking to make a block. His pass blocking was not bad against the small DEs he was facing. I imagine he will need a year in the weight room to add strength for blocking FBS DL. Overall, I think he has a lot of potential. This is a good pickup for 2-3 years down the road. One other note, the RB he was opening up holes for is a highly ranked prospect in 24. Bryan Jackson, averaged 128 yards a game and 2 TDs. I see his top 6 schools are OU, Michigan, UT, USC, Tennessee, and Baylor. So Desmond helped contribute to this RBs success.

Awesome, I hope we get more of these.

Would you want to go to that dumpster fire? I don't blame him for turning down Jimbo and the cult that is Texas A&M.

I know this isn't a TCU board, but I just saw that Garrett Riley is leaving TCU to become the OC at Clemson. I wonder if Seth ends up as the new TCU OC?

Interest rates are no joke right now. I read an article the other day that houses are now on the market for 100+ days compared to 1-2 weeks previously.

Did you get in your DeLorean and see the future? Oh nevermind, I see what you did here with the edit lol.

Lol, I use to go party in Tyler with my East Texas high school classmates that went to TJC. However, they never made it out of TJC and now work in the oil patch. Hell most of them make more money doing that then they ever would have if they stayed in school.

Keeping it in the family. Another solid addition. Now we just need to get a few guys on the other side of the ball in here.

Looks like it was Manase Mose's cousin Paula Vaipulu from Georgia Tech that just committed to us.

That’s awesome @TheReal_jayD Before I joined GMG in 2009, I spent a lot of time on Smoaky.com. David Smoak is a class act and very respected member of the media. Great job!

I like the size and even if he doesn’t start it will be good depth on the OL. Hopefully everything comes together for him here. I haven’t watched any of his HS tape. It does appear they were going to move him to DL at one point, but then moved him back to OL. Sometimes a change of scenery is needed. Welcome to Denton!

High Completion percentage ✅ Mobile QB ✅ Played against FBS Competition ✅ Local kid ✅ Sign me up. This will be a 2 man race between him and Stone Earle.

Another one! Possibly the Fresno St OL?

Trying to connect the dots here. Possible commitment?
