Despite committing to Nevada over the weekend, Alamo Heights quarterback Giovanni Vizza said he still plans on fielding offers.

"It's a soft verbal," said Vizza, who plans to visit North Texas this weekend. "In a way, I'm still looking. But my family and I wanted to secure something. I'm keeping my options open."

Vizza passed for 3,278 yards and 37 touchdowns to lead the Mules to the Class 4A Division I championship. An Express-News All-Area selection, he was recently named state Offensive Player of the Year by Texas Football magazine.

Mules teammate Sam Dibrell also had an eventful weekend, committing to North Texas. Dibrell, another E-N All-Area pick, caught 92 passes for 1,556 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Sam Dibrel listed at 6'2 215 4.55, hm all state class 4a Great size for wr or db

It probably want hurt in recruiting his teammate the QB either.

It seems like nearly every time I check up on football threads, there is a new story of someone committing or thinking about committing to UNT. It sounds like Coach Dodge is already having a major impact from what I can gather, and he has been on the job for less than a month. This is going to get exciting.

There's a RB/DB on that team, who has great speed.....and is also a heckuva player. The player's name is Colton Haverda. I've read his 40 times....and they are anywhere from 4.34 to 4.47.

Not sure if he's committed anywhere.....but he, Vizza and Dibrell all sound like great players.

And btw....I absolutely love this "non stealth" recruiting.

I haven't been this excited in the off-season ever. Harry is doing a great job, also.

Interesting that a player just named offensive player of the year in Texas is rated 2 stars.

We'll need more than that. Remember, Dodge's offense often uses four receivers. If Muzzy is able to come back we'll have only two with significant experience. So, unless Fitzgerald makes the two-deep, these incoming freshmen may very well play without redshirting.

We can always use quality linemen, especially if they are Dylan Lineberry/Brandon Kennedy types. But I'm expecting Drake, Banks, and Foster to strengthen the offensive line and Gilmore will be back on defense (we hope). Unless we have several linemen that won't be back we won't need great numbers, but we can always use quality.

Foster was a senior this year.

I favor the kid from Boswell, Taylor Weidman. He passed for 2700 yards and ran for 800. He's taller (6'2" vs 6'), faster (4.5 vs 4.8), and he's already stated that he felt it would be an honor to play for Coach Dodge. He sounds real motivated to me.

I think he's talking about the OL from Allen, Nick Foster.

Not the bearded wonder, Joel Foster.

Don't be ridiculous. We will have 1 QB & 10 WR's on the field at this rate

[Starchild0224]

Any word on whether TD would be interested in Chance McCoy from Graham? It's Colt's little brother and he's a two-time all stater. He and Reilly are friends and I have it on good authority he'd come here. May not be fast enough (4.9) but could be a terrific possession guy. He's tall and can go up for it and ain't afraid to get hit. Just wondering if anyone has heard his name brought up?

Talk about an exciting offense!
