Lb's

Mo Green · February 2, 2011

It really looks like the lb's we signed today have some speed and are accomplished athletics. Some of them were being recruited by the mountain west conference so..... this is a way to "beat them" and gain some of their interest. Now that we trust Dan & Chico, I really am looking forward to see what can happen with these athlete's on the def side of the ball.Then maybe, we will get more interest from other conferences (CUSA)& more importantly win some games in September.

Secondarly, we will see immediate gains lot's faster with Dan's coaches out there recruiting for next year's crop too. This summer will be fun to see some movement concerning recruits & in commitments (hopefully) based entirely on what they did in such shore time this winter. What do u think?

9. * Michael Stojkovic (pronounced STOCK O VICk), LB/Safety/ATH, 6-2, 215, 4.6, ValleyForge Prep/Katy HS - Coached by Glen Foley. A quarterback at Katy who spent a year at Valley Forge and was converted to an outside linebacker. 375 bench press, 4.3 shuttle, 32 inch vertical jump. Recruited by Coach Anthony Weaver. Signed and enrolled at North Texas 1.18.10

If this kid is really 6'2(not actually 5'11), can put on 20 to 30 lbs and still run a 4.6 he could be the second coming of Cody Spencer. I really like his coverage skills from the film and if that can translate to him playing linebacker he should be a solid player. Again this is contingent on if he is actually the size and speed he is advertised though. Man it would be sweet to have someone in the middle of the field with a nose for the ball again. We shall see.........

He played QB at Katy, so I imagine he's closer to the 6'2 number. That bench press is impressive, almost 1.75X his body weight, thats serious strength.

This could be the steal of the entire class.

Also don't forget about Polk. 4 yr starter on defense, 98 tackles last yr. Defensive Captain since his Soph. yr.

Solid class.

Coach said Polk and Sergio Kindle were the only two to ever start all four years for him. That's good company. The kid looks like a hitter, but wasn't recruited by big schools because of his height. Maybe this kid will be a Dexter Coakley/Sam Mills-type.

Polk is almost the same size Chris Hurd was when he was named SBC Defensive Player of the Year. Give him some time in the weight room, and that motor and nose for the ball, are you kidding me?
