Forthcoming on the 105 list.

I see a Danny Woodhead clone. Small, but shifty and tough as hell

Surely you know NOTHING! :) Welcome aboard.  Glad to have kids coming in from very successful programs.  Even though HP knocked us out of the playoffs 4 years ago, all because we didn't tackle a hitch route vs Heritage.  Y'all made a deep run that year and had a STUUUUUUD DL group.  First team we played where he truly had to double team each block just to get yardage.

How's He done so Far in Camp?

Is Stephen Dieb from Highland Park on UNT team???

[UNTLifer]

Yes.  Walk on

[North Texas Shep]

He seems like a tough kid, that is not scared of the hard yards. If he has good hands, he could make a great slot. For some reason I like big backs in the offense. 

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

safe to say he has redshirted?

not on the roster.

[MCMLXXX]

Grayshirt?

[UNTLifer]

He is enrolled at North Texas and was waiting on a few things to clear up, which have now been taken care of.  Should start practicing with team any day now.  I would expect him to red-shirt this year.

When you bring in kids from sketchy schools like Highland Park this is part of the deal. 

[UNTLifer]

I know you are joking, but Stephen is a good young man from a good family.  As many of you are aware, he was involved in an altercation at the end of last school year.  This caused a delay.  He will be a great addition to the team, probably return man and slot receiver.  Littrell liked him because of Stephen's strong wrestling background, a sport in which he received a number of offers on the D1 level.  Wrestling, and the training involved, is a different animal than football.

[TreeFiddy]

Everything I have heard about this young man is positive and what very little I know about the altercation, the other party involved was long overdue for an ass kicking.  

I have zero concern over this kid's character or toughness. Looking forward to him joining the team once he takes care of his personal business. 

[UNTLifer]

@TreeFiddy, you heard right on all accounts.

[UNTLifer]

No longer with the team.

What happen @UNTLifer?

Not sure.  I reached out to his Dad and asked if Stephen was still with the team.  He responded that he was not, so I asked if he was transferring elsewhere or just decided to give up the sport.  He replied that Stephen was still trying to decide.

[TreeFiddy]

Never saw him actually listed on the roster.  Was he participating in practice in the Fall?  Was he on the sidelines?
