The North Texas football team added its first players of the Seth Littrell era when they signed offensive lineman T.J. Hensen and defensive ends Joshua Wheeling and Joseph Ozougwe on Thursday during the mid-term signing period

He mentions the DE is an every down player. Probably sees our DES as either one or the other and may be a hint that the rotation may be over on the DLine.

Wow!! Great news!

Wonder what Vito has been up to. lol

UNTLifer · December 17, 2015

Wheeler is listed as 6'3" and 255lbs. It is Wheeler, not Wheeling as not on the UNT website.

I thought Joseph Ozougwe had signed with us last year. Did he grey shirt?

Both D-Ends have no stars on 247. But I'm sure that's inaccurate. Or at least I hope it is

1. Wheeler is relentless and once he gets his hands on you you're going down. Ball get off needs work.

2. Ozugwu, hips excellent really bends when he beats Tackle, Ball get off YES PLEASE!! Great find. Always wondered when we were going to go after some Houston area kids.

3. Henson haven't watched yet.

Wheeler on one side.. Combs on the other.. C-USA QB beware!!!

Combs didn't do much for me this season. Roberts on the other hand, wasn't he a JR? That could be a nasty combination.

Same here, both he and Finney were about as underwhelming as they could be, especially for players who I thought would impact the defense.

MeanGreenTexan · December 17, 2015

I guess I'll have to trust the staff on "Wheeling" and Ozougwu. No other offers anywhere?

I think it was scheme alot of it. He has skills we shall see tho

Finney looked like a man amongst boys in spring game then barely saw the field in the fall. I was baffled by that, as well as Garner (sp) not playing much. Both made plays when they were on the field but could never stay out there consistently.

I agree with both of yall. Also in the periscope during practice they seemed like different players. Im hoping new coaches can maximize their talents

Mac probably told him "You're a hell of a ball player son, in fact you've been consistently the best player in our front 7 all spring. But you're not gonna play much. Why? You just don't have enough Iowa to see the field."

Finney: "Coach, what the hell does that mean?"

McCarney: "You damn well know what that means. If you had half the Iowa that Andrew McNulty had, you would start regardless of how terrible your play was!"

So, I am confused on Ozuougwu. He was listed with last year's class, shows committing to us last February, but never showed up on the roster. Grey shirt?

I recognize his name and believe he was a gray shirt

NorthTexan95 · December 17, 2015

Ah ... Littrell has now mastered stealth signings!

One of the greatest FS we ever had was a gray shirt. (Buckles)

Wheeler shows good skill at using his hands to shed blockers. He used good speed to avoid most blocks. Will be good stunting and may be a good DE in zone blitzes as he seems to move well. Doesn't give up on plays.

greenit · December 17, 2015

And for what it's worth, Ozougwe was rated 3 stars by 247 for the 2105 class. I don't think the recruiting sites will show Ozougwe in this class, but he will count against the ncaa cap number.

Wow! Who knew the recruiting services worked so many generations ahead.

Harry · December 17, 2015

Very pleased with these signings. I look at Henson as an insurance policy for the o-line -- get's to go through spring and could even perhaps battle for a starting position. Losing Ochs last year forced us to go with a lot of youth and it hurt us.

The defensive ends both have good speed and are a little undersized. I see the speed of this program being a primary focus of Littrell. Chico basically came right out and said we were slow last year. You are going to see more long and lean types who can run but have the ability to put on size in the coming weeks IMHO.
