Sweet! 6-4, 235 and runs a 4.7. Put another 15-20 lbs on him and he could be a killer DE.

Seeing (I presume) his family and coaches all decked out in NT stuff is really cool.

Great article on a great kid. Proud to see his coaches and family decked out in the Mean Green Colors too!

I like the polo that the young man is wearing. I'd like to see ALL of the team wearing them when they do their walk-thru with the fans on game day.

I also like the green "T's" that many of those people were wearing at the ceremony. Bold and simple.......classic.

Heck, lets put him in at MLB. Sounds like a Kassell type athlete.

Leonard linebacker Kail Krider is headed to the University of North Texas after spending the second half of his senior season on the sideline with a broken leg.

He becomes the first Leonard football player and second athlete in school history to sign with a Division I program.

“It’s a pretty recent development,” Krider said. “I took an official visit this (past) weekend and they offered the scholarship.”

The interest from the Mean Green came after Krider sent in a video tape about a month ago and the coaching staff got in contact with him.

“We kept looking at him as a linebacker, and thinking he wasn’t fast enough, but all of a sudden it jumped on (defensive coordinator) Kenny Evans that if he gained a little more weight, he’d make a heck of a defensive end or defensive tackle,” said UNT head coach Darrell Dickey. “We like everything about him.”

Krider had 58 tackles, two sacks and an interception in his abbreviated season and had offers to play tight end at Southeastern Oklahoma State and Texas A&M-Commerce.

But the chance to play for the Division I program, which he will do as a defensive end, was too good to pass up.

“I wanted to play at the highest level,” Krider said. “They liked what I did playing at linebacker and said they could move me around.”
