UNT practice notes

There will be a notebook in tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle with a couple of news items, but until then here are a few random thoughts and observations from UNT's practice on Tuesday.

B.J. Lewis continues to be impressive and appears to be pushing for immediate playing time. The freshman has made plays in both of the first two sessions of fall practice and made a nice grab in a goal line drill Tuesday.

UNT started looking for a new punt returner to replace the departed Johnny Quinn on Tuesday. Wide receivers Brandon Jackson and Casey Fitzgerald and defensive back Dominique Green all caught punts during the middle of practice.

Punter Truman Spencer continued to drive all of UNT's return men deep and appears to have picked up right where he left off after a standout sophomore season.

Kartey Agbottah is getting a long look at safety with Roy Loren out of practice.

Wide receiver Breece Johnson had his best day of practice thus far on Tuesday. The freshman caught three touchdown passes in goal line drills and was impressive throughout the day.

Chad Rose continues to work at guard, while Adam Venegas has been spending time at tackle.

Freshman wide receiver Sam Roberson made a nice catch in the back of the end zone during one-on-one drills.

UNT head coach Todd Dodge has preached the theme of family since he took over the program in December. UNT has broken its huddle by yelling the word in unison throughout practice.
