Multiple reports Friday afternoon and evening said Southlake Carroll quarterback Riley Dodge has switched his commitment to North Texas after a February commitment to Texas.

Going to North Texas, Dodge could again play quarterback for his father, former Southlake Carroll head coach Todd Dodge who was named at North Texas last December.

At Texas, Dodge would have to move to receiver.

Neither Dodge could be reached for comment but SLC teammates and Texas assistants indicated a switch to North Texas was imminent.

While this is a good thing for UNT it also shows how these early commitments can change their minds for a number of reasons.

Good grief, why all this early "pre-Senior year" judgement on Riley Dodge as a non-college FB QB prospect?!?!?

Riley Dodge is hardly a midget or pygmy for heaven's sake. Heck, he can projectile puke and then throw TD passes that win at the highest level of all Texas High School "freakin" Football; all you non-UNT'ers who are really coming down on the kid now that he's in our camp just watch out now, ya' hear)? (RDodge will show all his critics in due time what his pedigree is all about and then he will get the last laugh with all this--Hide...........Watch..............&................See).

Hellsbells! The kid could grow another 2 or 3 or so inches before he's even a sophomore at UNT (Mean Joe Greene era & UNT great Cedric Hardman (who was also an NFL All Pro selection for several years) grew about 5 or 6 inches in height while an NT student. He also put on the weight required for a defensive linemen.

Cedric Hardman should (along with others from UNT) also be in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Why he is not is makes that organization a state-wide hall of shame for those who have done all past inductions. What a crock from some old SWC fart-knockers who have led the way to put so many slow a-foot white RB's in what they've turned (to an extent) into their Texas Hall of Shame-- it's almost laughable. FWIW, Abner Haynes could run circles around most of em'! Never saw Abner at UNT but I did see him run (in person) when he was a Kansas City Chief. Sorry for chasing a few rabbits, here.

Short QB's who didn't grow taller in college? Can anyone say.............Doug Flutie?!?!

Or more locally with UNT ties............can anyone say the, uh, great Mitch Mahr? Todd Dodge as UNT Offenisve Coordinator back in the early 90's recruited Mitch out of Plano East HS. IMHO, MM could have played QB quite effectively for any Hayden Fry-coached team against high profile teams we had some success as well as many other NCAA D1-A higher echelon schools for my money.

How can we ever forget Mitch's huge game against Big 12 Oklahoma State? Another game we could have won even as a D1-AA school.

Before Mitch sees this Plumm, you need to edit out the East. He went to Plano Senior High not PESH and Dennis Parker recruited him because of his warmups when Marshall played Plano in the Playoffs.

Yes, Mitch Maher was an option QB at PSHS. He maybe threw 3 passes per game, if that.
