Senior LB Early out for season

11:20 PM CDT on Thursday, August 11, 2005

DENTON – Linebacker Shawn Early will sit out the season as a redshirt to continue his recovery from a knee injury he suffered during spring practice.

Early didn't report for the beginning of fall workouts but will return to school for the beginning of classes. The senior started 11 of 12 games last season and finished fourth on the team with 60 tackles.

Early's loss leaves UNT with three returning defensive starters.

Briefly ...

UNT coach Darrell Dickey said freshmen Matt Phillips and Steve Warren will have a chance to compete for the starting and backup quarterback roles.

That's bad news.. Early is a big time player for us. At least we have the guys ready to step in. Graves is a hitter, and Thompson would play there if we needed him to. We also have a speedster coming in with Toby Nwigwe, so I'm not too worried. Think about how fast our linebackers are? Monroe on the outside, Mendoza or Thompson in the middle, and Graves or Nwigwe on the other edge?

Let's see if MTSU can figure out a way to get around them... Oh, and then there's that little running back problem the MUTS defense will face.

Great time to be a Mean Green Fan...
