[NT Alum '04]

"

Cody Nelson, an offensive lineman from Keller, committed to UNT on Monday.

UNT recruited Nelson, 6-5, 270 pounds, as a tackle.

“I love the coaches and it’s close to home,” Nelson said late Tuesday.

UNT made Nelson a priority in recruiting and offered him a scholarship early. Nelson said that Texas Tech and Louisiana Tech told him that there was a possibility that he would be offered a scholarship if he attended their summer camps.

Nelson said that being a higher priority for UNT made the difference."

“I have made my commitment and am not going to any more camps,” Nelson said

Fantastic, Welcome to the Mean Green Mr. Nelson!!

At that size as a junior, especially the height (if it is accurate), this is a great get.

Just need to watch out for coach Jones' lazy, poor-recruiting coaches to start offering these guys around late January/early February. We need to have at least a 6-6 season this year, or we may experience a few Chase Walling/Sam Rice scenarios.

Holy cow, Justin Gaines & Noah Joseph are absolutely killing it for us this year.

Welcome to the Mean green Nation! WOW...another local kid wants to stay near home and play for the Mean Green! Maybe that old line about local kids NEVER giving the Mean Green serious consideration will finally die away. Something good must be going on at UNT these days to land these local guys. GREATNESS! I am really happy to see this...lots of local family and friends to help fill Apogee as well with these local guys.

Way to go Coach Mac and Company...keep 'em coming. And, now hang on to all of them and get those names on the dotted line!

EDIT...just corrected a word error...that's all...didn't want the Grammar Police calling! ha!

Another 6'5" OL commit. Have to love it!

As much as we love to talk about QB recruits and obsess about skill positions, the quickest path to improvement for this team will be in the upgrading of the OL and DL...when those guys are doing their jobs, everyone else's job is easier and they look better. Great to see some excellent line prospects showing interest in the Mean Green.
