No one was actually bagging on him. People started joking that we should keep his actual stats (because his maxprep stats were missing about 700 yards) a secret and make him sound l

Nice! It should be fun to see how this kid can do with a season of being the main guy at running back. I know I make a big deal about offer lists, but this is the type of kid I'm okay with not having much of an offer list. Relatively new to organized football, had a really good back in front of him, and had a bit of an injury problem. Good combination of size and speed.

He's got great size! Very fluid hips, and decisive. As cdizzle mentions, I like that he doesn't get taken down by the first tackle. Put ten more pounds on that frame and we've got a 3-down back. Hope we can keep him.

He reminds me a little of Demarco Murray with the way he runs.

At first I thought Rashad Jennings, but you're totally right. His cutting and lateral agility while still going forward remind me of Murray/McFadden's syle.​

Rushed for 700 yards and 7 scores on 122 carries this year. Stats don't stand out, but his film isn't too bad. If Perry stays, which it looks like is very possible, I would imagine this kid would remain a part of this class.

I haven't seen any 2015 tape, but rewatched his 14 tape and it makes me giddy. Like his ability to work in tight spaces and his vision.

After watching the film and looking at the stats, I'm wondering if maybe our plan is to move him to defense? Zac Whitfield? Although I'm guessing with this guy's size he would be a LB or Safety. Also, his high school stats look very similar to what Jimmerson's stats looked like at Desoto and that guy had a good career here in my opinion.

NT03 and I did a little research on his stats and there's no way he rushed for only 700 yards this year. That's way off. He had a 254-yard performance at the beginning of the year, a 202-yard performance in his team's only playoff game this year, and some good performances in between. Was hard to find good, reliable stats on this kid.

Also, Tommy Perry recruited him to play running back. Middleton's only other offer was from Colorado State as a linebacker, but I think he'll be an RB here as long as we keep Perry, which it seems like we will.

It looks like there are 3 games missing from those stats.

i think it was 15 but you were close. A for effort

We don't need to be recruiting '16 RB Tyrone Middleton (San Antonio Southwest) because he is fumble-prone.  Those 15 fumbles were actually only his fumbles during DISTRICT PLAY.    He actually had over 30 fumbles on the year, including 5 during their playoff game.

Just a terrible player.  Cant count on all of those yards if he can't hold onto the ball in clutch time.

I read where he has "club" hands.  I don't think we should be making fun of his fumbling issues considering his handicap.  I applaud our coaching staff for sticking with this young man considering these physical limitations.  I just wish they would have done their due diligence prior to extending the offer.

He has Club Hands? Where are you seeing this?

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that may Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"

      2025 DC Wish List

      Agreed. Our former highest paid football assistant was clearly a terrible coach and recruiter as well. Mosley will be making the next hire. He has to as Morris is putting his AD job in jeopardy now.

      Caponi fired

      It took way too long, he was paid way too much money. Should have never been given a 2 year guaranteed contract. Why does UNT keep spending so much money on horrible hires? Eric Morris failed miserably in his first big hire as a FBS head coach. Period. Now Mosley needs to start being concerned. His first big hire is turning out to be a bust as well. His only saving grace is basketball but honestly Ross was already set up as a easy layup hire for him so his Morris hire is much more indicative of his abilities to identify and hire good coaches.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      He can waive his arms faster than them

      2025 DC Wish List

      Our DC also needs to be able to recruit. Apparently, the last regime only recruited DBs and STILL couldn’t run the 3-3-5.
