I didn’t see him out there much.  Rausaw played more minutes I think.

I wonder if he was the O’Keeron Rutherford to Ikaika’s Tee Goree?

if it doesn’t make sense, ask Dan McCarney.

He appears to be a little on the small side for a DL especially when you consider our 3 DL alignment.   At a listed 253 lbs a DL needs serious quicks and power to to offset the 25-35 lbs advantage most linemen should have on him at better FBS programs.  Looking at his career summary I hope no one is lying to this young man puffing him up to think there are great opportunities waiting for him in the portal.  No one that wasn't a star on last year's defense should have transfer visions of grandeur unless going to FCS.  If his scholarship wasn't in question for fall 2023 I would advise him to stay here for HIS benefit not the Mean Green's benefit.  If you a "meh" infrequent rotational defensive guy at North Texas; that is most likely what you are going to be at other FBS programs.

Coming out of HS, he was a DE and offered by the likes of AZ St. and BYU.  I never really understood moving him inside at his size
