Roster updated- 93 players listed, weight adjustments too

[Charlie NT 73]

I was checking the current football roster on Meangreensports.com.

Looks like player information has been updated.

Check it out- I hope this link works. I used the "sort by position" tab

http://www.meangreensports.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPSID=9053&SPID=562&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=1800&SORT_ORDER=6&q_

SEAON=2012&PRINTABLE_PAGE=

I count 16 DB's, 9 DE's, 7 DT's, 13 LB's, 14 OL players, 1 Punter, 1 PK, 4 QB's, 8 RB's, 9 TE's, and 11 WR's.

Total 93 players

Note the weight gains and the weight loss on some players.

With 16 DB's on the roster, plus any incoming walk-on's, I certainly hope the secondary coaches

can find the starting players they need.

[H-towngreen]

I'm seeing 23 dbs

We almost have more TEs then we do WRs.

Interested in seeing if Carl Caldwell can provide us with anything.

We have some big young TEs with the Smiths and Cooper Jones?

My dark horse candidates at RB are the two freshman from Louisiana. Mark Lewis and Jamarcus Jarvis.

We only lose 2 OL, 1 DT, 1 DB, 1 DE, 1 LB after this season. we are going to have a lot of returning starters next season. We are starting to see some depth created.

I'm really hoping Sir Calvin or McDorman can step up and earn some pt this season.

We're starting to see some good size at D-end

I'm just wondering. How long is Michael Ladner #91 going to be a junior? And if they've moved him to TE, I see him getting some playing time as an H-back on the goal line.

Jimmerson is in at 219 lbs? Wow, he may be my player to watch.

I completely agree with you. Something tells me this kid may be special.

[UNT Mean Green]

There are some noticable differences for sure:

Freshman RB Mark Lewis at 217

Cooper Jones up to 224

Jimmerson up to 219

Freshman LB Jarrian Roberts at 238

Zach Orr down to 223

Chad Polk up to 226

J Phillips up to 223

Daryl Mason up to 233

Derek Akunne down to 238

Kendall Wasington up to 220

Grant Shaw up to 302

Antonio Johnson up to 311

Marcus Smith up to 238

Austin Orr up to 268

Freshman LB LaJaylin Smith at 228

Freshman DE Brad Horton at 6'6" 240

Freshman OL Ryan Rentfro at 6'4" 309

Freshman OL Connor Trussell at 6'5" 295

Freshman DE Malik Dilonga at 6'4" 248

Freshman DE Dutton Watson at 6'3" 261

The difference in the physical frames of these players, especially those recruited in the last 2 classes are very noticeable. And the strength program by Coach Wintrich is definitely paying dividends. Now let's hope these guys can stay healthy through fall camp and win a few more ballgames than the 2011 squad!

Coach must want some more speed out of the MLBs.

Both Orr and Akunne dropped pounds. Hope they can still bust some heads while picking up some speed.

Alex Lincoln up to 266...might be a player to watch

[glick1980]

Alex Lincoln up to 266...might be a player to watch

Was he moving to DT?

[Harry]

How about RB Mark Lewis - 5-10, 217? That's good size for a true...

[Harry]

Was he moving to DT?

Both Orr and Lincoln moved to DT to my understanding.

[Harry]

And wow Cantly at 6=4, 333!!! That's NFL size!

[MeanGreenTexan]

And wow Cantly at 6=4, 333!!! That's NFL size!

Remember when just about everyone wrote him off as a project that would never materialize?

I hope he can capitalize this year. We need someone to anchor the interior of the line. His size is obviously there. Now, can coach Nelson (and I'm sure McCarney is active in DL coaching as well) get his technique perfected, and does he have the drive to be All-conference, or better?

[Harry]

The other one I would keep a close watch on is LaJaylin Smith. He was a SEC caliber recruit and could make an immediate impact for us on special teams. I can't wait to see this kid and all the rest on the field!

[El Paso Eagle]

Realize not a lot of glamour in the positions, but only 1 kicker and 1 punter could be a problem

[Side Show Joe]

Sampson at 6'5" could be a real weapon. I sure hope he can catch under presure, and give us another option in goal line situations.

[Green59]

DE Alexander Lincoln up 19 lbs to 266

DE Brandon McCoy down 13 lbs to 257

DT Tevinn Cantly up 22 lbs to 333

DE Daryl Mason up 24 lbs to 233

DE Aaron Bellazin down 11 lbs to 244

LB Chad Polk up 23 lbs to 226

OL Antonio Johnson up 26 lbs to 311

OL Grant Shaw up 15 lbs to 302

TE Cooper Jones up 19 lbs to 224

TE Marcus Smith up 11 lbs to 238

Coach Mac brought a Kicker, Punter, and Long Snapper in as preferred Walk-Ons. I believe all three are in school and participating in the summer work-outs.

Good to hear!

The way we block on special teams, it will be a problem.

[MDH]

McNulty is 6'1"? Also, he's 202? Unless he put on 30 lbs I call BS on that weight.

[ragpicker]

At the Plano meet the coaches event, Jimmerson was the player that Coach Mac said to keep an eye on for next season.

Measuring players Riley-style, I'm sure.

Jimmerson will be something special this year
