Adaway reminds me of Jeffrey Wilson.

Welcome aboard Oscar!

BTW...  if his nickname doesn’t have something to do with “grouch”, that needs to change when he gets here.

Nice!

[Hunter Green]

Looks like a stud!

[UNTLifer]

Really love the skill positions committed to this class. Adaway and Garrison will be studs. Love their size, speed, etc...

[Green Crazy]

These running backs are solid!

Nice to see us recruit from another state. I can't remember the last time we had a kid from Arkansas play for us.

Agreed, and it looks like he has a better frame for putting on weight, something Wilson always struggled with.

That being said, if he's even half the player Wilson was for us, I will be very happy with Mr. Adaway

Just a little FYI on this kid...

Anyone who knows anything about Arkansas HS football knows about Hootens.com. It is Arkansas' version of Dave Campbells magazine. Every year they have a top 50 prospects released for the state. 

Mr. Adaway comes in at #44 as a top 50 player in Arkansas.

Running style maybe, but comes in with a much more college-ready frame. Hope we can find a Motor Singletary-eqsue player in Johnson or Adaway.

Maybe not with the same top speed?

How did North Texas become the right school and football program for you?

“The coaching staff is amazing. The facilities are 9 out of 10; it was a great choice for me. I went to CSU (Colorado State) to check it out to make sure I was making the right decision. What they are doing at North Texas is at a high level and they are on the rise.”

CSU has been making headlines for their new stadium and facilities..

• Colorado State’s new stadium is one of the prettiest in college football 
• CSU Rams go crazy over their new facilities 

It's incredibly exciting to have a recruit see their scene first hand, size things up with what's going on in Denton, and commit to our Mean Green.

Great job by the staff in recruiting, the department in facilities planning, and the boosters/students for providing the necessary financial support for us to get here.

All I can think of when I see his name is Haddaway, and his hit single What Is Love

Thank you for your courage. I have been thinking this for months.
