'16 JUCO LB Mylam Peters (Arizona Western CC)

BillySee58 · February 24, 2016

6'5" 240 lb linebacker from Arizona Western CC. We have offered. I'm honestly not sure what class he is. Could possibly be a 2016 kid, because he has already played two seasons for AWC, and his hudl has him listed as class of 2015.

He's not Johnson, but he's 6-5 and can run like the wind. Very disruptive, albeit not as physical as Johnson. We need a D-Tackle, especially of English doesn't get the waiver but I would take this guy.

With the number of LBs and that we have wonder if he he could get a try possibly at DE because of his burst

Yep!

GMG24 · February 28, 2016

The scheme we will be playing the OLB will need to get on the LOS and make plays shuts like a DE.

I am starting to really worry about all these JUCOs and who is going to make it to campus. Ekeler out doing his thing though.

What, no North Texas T-shirts to give to Mylam?

baberuthbomber8 · May 21, 2016

Is he this class or next years class?

Better to worry of that than will they get eligible versus eligible and not/never help us and take up a valuable ship. That has been a bigger issue round here IMHO.

He messaged me last night and said he'll be here in the fall as a JR and he'll be on scholarship.

I like the size of our linebackers. Hopefully we have enough DT's able to free up blockers for the linebackers to make plays.

It seems like they come with good pedigrees.

According to Vito's article, we beat out 5 other FBS teams, including a B1G team. Nice job coach Ek!

Did I read that someone with a similar name was arrested with 2 other guys for armed robbery or assault? May not be the same person. Just asking.

Strong armed robbery, not armed robbery.

No weapon.

But, ya...

This could have been a neighborhood fight where he took some kid's necklace after ripping it off in a fight or something more. The few details indicate something more, but how much no one knows.

Also, he was 16 when this happened. Odd that his name was released to the media.

I had a hard time finding any information to verify that claim. I believe Vito but usually it isn't that hard to verify offers and such online.

Vito said interest from other P5s. Only offer from P5 I saw in that article was Illinios.
