Olawale

75 yard TD catch for Olawale with the Raiders. Wish he would have gotten more PT with us. Hopefully this staff can make him feel part of our program by reaching out to him and bringing him back to Denton.

Great catch and run.  TV guy said "Olawale, fullback out of North Texas".  Doesn't get any better than that.

Every time I watch him play makes me hate Mac even more.... ?

Very happy Jamize made a career for himself in the NFL.

Didn't Dodge waste his talent as well?

[GMG_Dallas]

He's got great speed. Crazy that through all of our lack of success, we had a guy like this on our roster.

Yeah.  I believe he was only here for one season with Mac.  Dodge didn't need a full back. I'm not sure who Mac ran out there at fullback but maybe he went with a younger player.  He's an example of recruiting a good talent but never finding the right spot for him to really contribute.

Maybe.  He only had 79 yards receiving that year.  But Dodge was only his coach for seven games.  Olawale did play every game that he and Dodge were there together; he only played 8 games that first season when Mac game in.  And he only had 9 yards receiving that entire year.

H back for Dodge. 6 catches for 79 yard.

WR for Mac. 2 catches 9 yards, 2 tackles.

I remember him tweeting a picture of gear that The Wren had sent him a while back. Said something about loving his new Mean Green gear. So that's nice.

The talent we had here.  The wasted results.

No, he recruited him, but he was hampered by injuries during much of the time under Dodge.  I think he fit into Dodge's plans, but as far as I know never saw the field under McCarney.

Great play by Olawale, making North Texas proud!

Referees screwed the Texans in the ass during this one, though.

[Got5onIt]

I thought DD recruited Olawale and he came in under Dodge as a freshman?

[Monkeypox]

Olawale came to us out of El Camino College in Southern California, so he was only here for two years - Dodge's last year, and Mac's first year. Both used him sparingly.

[Marty]

Only play I can remember of Olawale's time here was in the K-State game at the Fouts Field Finale. He caught a pass from Riley Dodge for a first down over on the visitors sideline. After catching the ball & stepping out of bounds, he flipped the ball to Bill Snyder.

[Ryan Munthe]

Texans won that game.
