Bold 2018 Sleepers

[Aldo]

Alright post your bold sleepers here. This isn't a "DON'T SLEEP ON GUYTON" thread. More about the lesser mentioned guy on offense or defense.

For reference, here is 2016 (I couldn't try hard enough to find 2017). I think 2017 had a 6-6 o/u bold prediction in there somewhere iirc...

 

[Aldo]

I'm going with Greg White. I am thinking he hits the 400 yard club with fewer than 30 receptions. That's right.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Dayton Leblanc. 5 tfl and 20 tkls as a true freshman. 

[BillySee58]

Mentioned LeBlanc in the adoption thread, that’s my guy for sleepers. Loved his tape.

[MeanGreenTexan]

My guy was gonna be Fulp, but ...
I'll go with Dion Novil.  Big disruptive force coming off the edge.  He'll have the luxury of playing a lot with English next to him.

[AustinFromUNT]

WR Jyaire Shorter. He’s gonna do some serious damage this year imo.

[Harry]

Give me Linehan the LB from Idaho.  i just have a feeling he is going to help us this season.

[UNTLifer]

I picked a sleeper from offensive, defense and special teams.  So as not to be a sleeper hog, I will go with only one and that being Alvin Kenworthy.  Wish he would switch numbers with Mooney and then we could nickname him/his leg "AK 47."

[emmitt01]

Cujoe will have 7 TD’s

[Marty]

RB Loren Easly.

[MGNation92]

Alex Morris. He's got the rare size/speed to make a big difference at safety. Kid is gonna be a stud

[97and03]

Tre Siggers

[UNT Mean Green]

Loren Easley on Offense and Bryce English on Defense

[NorthTexan95]

Elex Woodworth - 2nd team all conference this season.  1st team all conference next season.  Drafted by an NFL team. 

 

[Wag Tag]

Linehan on D and Shorter in O. Shorter is going to be. FREAK! GMG

I'll take the overs. he was my pick forgot to post last night. 

 

 

My defensive sleeper is William Lemasters and Caleb Colvin (game changer on the DL)

Oh yeah! I'm excited to see what this guy brings. Liked his HS highlights.

Moving Young to the outside should give us an improved front 3, and a legit 2 deep at all 3 positions, which should provide the Jack with more opportunities to get to the QB.  Right now, the Jack looks like it is going to be Ozougwu.  This is his 3rd year (plus an extra Spring due to grayshirt).  It is time for him to step up and be an overnight sensation, 2 1/2 years in the making.

Especially if he happens to line up on Young’s side.  Matchup problems on that side for sure.

For my choice, I pick TE Caleb Chumley!

Colvin that good? He was one of the more intriguing additions we had this offseason. Great size and could probably play all three spots on the line

good to know. We need more difference makers on the DL. I think Novil could have a big year too.

[Cerebus]

Football games are won by the guys who start the play with their hand on the ground.  

I think the dline improvements have a chance to turn this from a poor defense into a good one.

Novil and Shaw provide you with a SOLID 2 deep at each spot.  Add the JUCO from Trinity #94 Tuulau Saafi to the mix and you've got 7 really good ones who can all play at a high level.  I think the best sleeper on the roster is #99 Nicholas Pichon
