Last Friday's Game - CH Commits

tylermeangreen · October 6, 2011

I know that a couple of you are interested in how UNT-East's (i.e., Chapel Hill High School) three commits did last week.

Sorry for the late post - left after the game for my annual fall trip to Colorado to enjoy the aspen - highly recommend if you have not been there for the fall aspen colors.

Last Friday CH played Center High School. Here is information about how our three commits performed:

Sir Calvin Wallace - DT - was back from injury and performed pretty well. As usual, he was double-teamed most of the game but managed to make several tackles and disrupt the flow of the Center offense on numerous occasions. The guy is a moose - still waiting to see the fire explode in the guy.

Something I had not seen before - he was being a leader on defense. He was whooping and encouraging his teammates. I saw some emotion that I had not seen before.

Andrew Tucker - RB/LB - rushed for 124 yards on 12 carries - just over 10 yards a carry average. Played his normal game at LB.

Rex Rollins - RB/LB - Rollins has picked up where he left off from last year - rushed for 57 yards vs. Center for a 9.5 yard average. If I remember right, he is averaging almost 12 yards per carry this year (that is on around 18 carries - he was out 2 - 3 games with injury). He also played his normal game at LB.

It still amazes me - I am no scout for sure - that UNT has such a stable of running backs that Lairamie Lee (1,400 + yards rushing at CH last year) and Tucker/Rollins are all penciled in by the Mean Green staff as defensive players - and Lee made the team as a freshman defensive back.

Brandon(?) Byrd and our two redshirt freshman running backs must really be future STUD RUNNING BACKS in our coaches' minds. This suggest great things for what can be historically termed Running Back U.

Love the updates! Glad Sir is back on the field. It'll be interesting to see if both Tucker and Rollins end up on the D side of things.

I'm sure it has to do with coach Mac's plan on making this team a defensive team and those players could greatly help out in that regard. Just my guess.
