Former Ryan standout Greg Garden is headed back to Denton to play for his hometown team once again -- only this time it will be at the college level.

Garden spent the last year at the Naval Academy but confirmed on Sunday night that he is transferring to North Texas to play safety. The 5-11, 187-pound two-time all-district selection with the Raiders was among three players who said over the weekend that they intended to spend their college careers at UNT.

I did not see him on the Naval Academy Roster. Did he attend the Naval Academy Prep School and play there?

DRC article says he was injured last season (shoulder) and didn't play, so I'm assuming redshirt. It says he will be eligible beginning in the 2008 season.

Final recruiting tally

When all was said and done Sunday, UNT had three commitments in football recruiting -- including from two high school players.

Lufkin linebacker A.J. Penson and Plano West offensive lineman J.J. Johnson both said they had orally committed to play for the Mean Green. UNT has also picked up Greg Garden a former Ryan standout who spent a year at the Naval Academy.

UNT recruited Garden to play in its defensive backfield.

What could be interesting is to see if the addition of a player like Garden helps open up the pipeline from Ryan, Denton and Guyer. UNT has seen a long line of Denton and Ryan players leave town and play for other programs. One can understand seeing players like Herman Johnson and Derek Lokey leave for programs like LSU and Texas, but there is little doubt it would help UNT to keep some of the players who are going to places like Houston and Tulsa home.

UNT is currently courting Lake Dallas running back Justin Hill and trying to get him to change his mind and play for the Mean Green instead of Rice.

What are your thoughts? Will Dodge be able to keep more players like Hill and Garden in town in the future?

When the Phoenix rise from the ashes it will burn kelly green! Get on the band wagon while there is still room! I love this class TD is putting together. I can't wait till 3 years down the road when he has coached up the existing players and added his own recruits.

      Do I need to go into another rant about how we didn't start our endowment fund until 1974 or 75. It was AGAINST OUR CULTURE TO RAISE OUTSIDE MONIES. When we finally caught on, we were 84 years behind just about everyone else. BUT most of the administrators still didn't want North Texas to change. Around the time that "Jitter Nolan" and Hayden Fry arrived we were the complete opposite of SMU. They loved their money, and we loved our bureaucracy. And that is mostly still true today. SMU resents that they were punished for what just about all the other SWC schools were doing. And that is somewhat valid. But my assessment of what went down starts with the fact that everyone dislikes and/or hates SMU and it culminated with their ham handed, and arrogant, system of paying players. SO, once again, SMU was treated unfairly, but they pretty much brought it on themselves. Just about everyone hated you then.......and pretty much still does.

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      That was actually for 2017. I looked at the wrong year... they were 79th for 2018-2019 calendar year. Middle of the pack in the ACC. He makes more than Caponi which I don't like unless we plan on holding on to the ball for 35 minutes per game like Army did this year. https://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/national_ranking?academic_year=2019.0&division=11.0&ranking_period=69.0&sport_code=MFB&stat_seq=28.0

      First College Net Rankings released

      that Jan 5 game is setting up to be super important as it's looking like possibly our only other shot at a Quad 1 win. plus for some of you, it could be a convenient stop on your roadtrip...looks like Memphis is about a third of the way to DC...might wanna get on the road after the game to catch the daytime reunion activities, but either way I'm sure the party will be going well into the night

      Tough Standards at Appy State

      Good point. And I guess that's why ASU only played 11 games....as they had a game with Liberty cancelled.
