DENTON – Coach Darrell Dickey said Wednesday he has been pleased with the progress of senior linebacker Shawn Early, who tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee in spring practice following the 2004 season.

Early played briefly in spring practice this year and has moved well, Dickey said. However, Early faces a major obstacle Friday when the Mean Green practice in full pads for the first time.

Dickey pleased with look of freshmen

DENTON – Coach Darrell Dickey said he was pleased with how UNT's freshmen fit in with the team's returning players during the first full-squad workout. UNT's freshmen worked out separately from returning players during the first two days of practice.

Briefly ...

UNT is still waiting for paperwork to be filed that would allow freshman defensive end Draylen Ross of Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis to begin practicing. ... Backup wide receiver/quarterback Jonathan Ieans has been released from his scholarship and is no longer with the team.

Couldn't have seen this coming. Would have figured he would have warmed the bench for one more season.
