FWIW, as his note indicates he was put on scholarship last year.  

Well yeah but I don't think most people knew that. I know i didn't. Just figured he was still a walk on

I think he has a solid shot of taking the job this year. I think he's got a better arm/release than Fine and is equally as mobile, plus he might be the smartest guy on the team

I just wanna win, don't give a Rats behind who starts.  Also FWIW this ship doesn't count against a class, as he had been here 2 years previously. He has also been granted another year of eligibility.  By my count he has this season, and next season so he could potentially be a 2 year starter. 

2016:
• Made his North Texas debut on 11/12 at WKU, going 0-for-1 passing and carried once for no gain

2015:
• Did not see any action

2014:
• Did not appear for the Mean Green

2013:
• Redshirted first year on campus, after walking on following the spring semester at Oklahoma State

High School:
• Attended Heritage Hall HS, and then went to Choate Rosemary Hall, a preparatory school in Connecticut
• Threw for over 1,500 yards as a senior at Heritage Hall

Good for him. He deserves it for the work he puts in.

Excited to see him compete for the starting job

I think he has a solid shot of taking the job this year. I think he's got a better arm/release than Fine (yep) and is equally as mobile(about a half step faster), plus he might be the smartest guy on the team (yep, already has his degree and working on his masters)

I assumed he was on scholarship, nice to have it confirmed.  By the way, McCarney moving on was not a good thing for walk ons.  

It was more the fact that he was a sub-6 foot quarterback than walkon on the McCarney leaving benefit.

      Texas A&M Hires Who?

      Ags base gets a not-so-subtle reminder that they are a football school.

      The End of an Era

      Been following the Mountain West for decades and you could act like San Diego State or UNLV. As a former UNLV season ticket holder I loathe SDSU but admire them today. They built an identity, established it on the national stage, nourished it and they keep coming back. UNLV meanwhile has floundered. A once proud program stuck in disillusion. The Rebels could be special again with a steady program and leadership but they have gone all over the board looking to reset. Been trying to reset for decades. I was hoping Krueger would work out but again they look lost. We have an identity and will benefit from nourishing it. I like the direction Jared went with Robinson. Keep being a thorn in our conference mates arse and best Memphis soon. It’s Green it’s good. GMG

      Hodge wanted to set us up for success

      I have learned over the career journey that we hold a lot more keys and power than people want us to believe. Ross could have said, “Wren I’ll make my decision after UNT’s season is over. I am staying focused, staying the course, my team and University deserve this. Was wren really gonna go get anyone else? Hell I wouldn’t have even interviewed until my current goal was accomplished or unattainable. Then I have a full clear mind to weigh everything even negotiate a stronger deal. I only personally realized this after I’ve been pressured in the business world to act fast or risk losing. When you are solid with a lot to offer they wait. We hold a lot more power than we know. A championship by this team would have elevated each players and coaches profiles immensely. Wren played Ross and crew like the more seasoned business man he is. Now GTFONT. I’m excited about Robinson. I would love to see a coach embrace Denton Texas USA too. Robinson seems thoughtful, strategic, steady and strong. Will this translate into wins, who knows. But a coach that arrives with skins on the wall, affirms his excitement for my University and his opportunity, has my attention and support. Show some love to the Community and get the alumni and locals excited, we’ll build you a statue. Opportunity rocks. GMG

      Could UNT go undefeated this year in FB?

      There’s only one major high profile program left to make a national mark and I think we will have a special season. Undefeated, a possibility, probability low. Big win season, fun and championship promise deep into the season I could see happening. Potential goals: Playoffs. AAC Championship. Strong Bowl marquee matchup. New Mexico Bowl or similar. I’m going with AAC Championship goal with a good season being a marquee bowl matchup. We must progress, so minimum is a lower profile bowl win. GMG
