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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
