Originally from Keller, had offers from Buffalo, Incarnate Word, and a few D2 schools. Based on his size, I imagine he will be used a lot in coverage.

44 tackles over 9 games last year. Honorable mention all conference LB.

Makes sense, given the time of year, not a bad addition. He played at a high level JUCO and 6-A high school. I imagine the transition will not be to difficult.

When does he show up or does that not matter anymore?

Graduates in May, so I figure he will be here this summer.

[GrayEagle]

Scholarship or PWO?  He appears to be a good addition but frankly I hope that Blake Fann gets the next scholarship unless he is totally agreeable to waiting (why should he be?).

[LongJim]

Not sure how many Blinn transfers UNT has had.  That school has traditionally been a pipeline for aTm in the past.  Has produced some great players.

[Hookset]

Hopefully he plays well for us and also is a pipeline for his little brother.
