Euless Trinity DE Yenga quite a catch for local college

Euless Trinity senior DE Youri Yenga has emerged as one of the area's top defensive players this season. Yenga seems to lead Trinity in tackles and big defensive plays every game.

Trinity coach Steve Lineweaver said Yenga's big season has put him on the radar of college recruiters. Lineweaver said, however, that Yenga is looking to sign with a local college, such as North Texas, SMU or TCU.

Yenga would be quite a catch for one of the local schools. He came to Trinity as a sophomore and football was new to him and he's come a long way in three seasons. Yenga has a lot of up-side to him. He'll need to fill out -- he's a 'tweener at 6-1, 210 -- but he's a heck of a tackler.

Lineweaver said Yenga needs to stay close to home "because he's the dad of the family." Lineweaver said Yenga's father still lives in Africa and Yenga helps take care of his mother and sister. His sister just recently moved to the U.S.

Lineweaver said Yenga really came on last season in the playoffs as Trinity went on to win the Class 5A Division I title. Lineweaver said he was even better last spring.

"We couldn't block him in practice," Lineweaver said.

And that's saying a lot considering the size and talent of Trinity's offensive line.
