DENTON – North Texas head football coach Seth Littrell announced the first group of the 2018 Mean Green signing class Wednesday, in conjunction with the newly-instituted early signing period. The class thus far, is comprised of 14 student-athletes from four states and features 11 high school signees and three junior college transfers.

“As we raise the level of expectation around this program, we have to continue to bring in players that can help us accomplish our goals,” Littrell said. “Competing for championships and playing in bowl games is now the standard for Mean Green football, and these young men that we signed today will help us do that for the foreseeable future.”

North Texas will announce the remainder of the 2018 signing class on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2018.

For a full list of the 14 Mean Green signees, as well as bios and videos, head to Mean Green Signing Day Central.

Half of our signees thus far are 3-stars. Not bad...

Do Martin and Bean get a legitimate shot at competing for the QB job? Believe Martin enrolls in January. 

Nice looking class right now.

Played a lot of stand up end on his film.  This D needs big DEs.

Wonder if Sa'afi will play with his hand in the dirt as a speed DE like Hambone, or if he'll be a JACK like Wheeler.

Redfearn not showing up either, although he tweeted he was going to sign yesterday and JayD said he was going to sign at 3:30.   Wonder why they didn't want to wait for him before putting this out?

This.  Was really hoping to see Redfearn's name on the list.  Only one early signee for the oline.

The only thing I can think of for Carroll is that he is playing on Saturday.  Didn’t stop Manvel kid though.

Our 1'st  team All CUSA QB will be a good teacher for whoever succeeds him in 2 years.

More 3 Stars than I remember seeing in the past.

So this is for all you recruiting gurus.....regarding the strategy in signing more now vs February...

I noticed FAU only signed five this week. 

Is there a reason? What would be a positive for waiting? Is that intentional? the negative?

Is there a limit on the Grad Trans you can sign in a year?

I don't think so.  But your roster will get awfully thin awfully quickly if you use up a significant portion of your 25-scholarships-per-year allotment with players who only have one year of eligibility.

Think I figured out the real reason- waiting to see if criminal charges and court cases go their way 🤔

With all off the asinine comments you make. Talk about someone who gives themselve to much credit.
