UNT commit Sergio Medina Highlight Video

Harry · December 10, 2012

OK -- hard not to like this kid when you watch him on film! Love his nose for the ball.

UNT Mean Green · December 10, 2012

Certainly has a nose for the ball; looks like a nice player.

Marty · December 10, 2012

He has a nose for the ball all right. Don't really like that most of his tackles are up around the shoulder pads though. That won't work on the D1 level. That's something that can be corrected with the proper coaching. Welcome aboard Sergio!

Funky Cold Medina.

good closing speed.

I noticed that as well, but yes, hopefully coaching can correct it. Makes good reads though.

Yes he was tackling high but no one seemed to get away from him. Highlight videos are edited of course, but his tackles aren't made by riding someone for 5 yards. Very Akunne-like.

He is great! He is a little undersized but that will change in a couple of years.

Whoa! You need to check the roster. At 210 he will be our heaviest defensive back and at 6' only three will be taller and two of those just an inch.

Harry · December 31, 2012

I like him as well!

Hold on... I thought he was a LB. Whoops!

Heard he was recruited as a safety.

NT03 · January 11, 2013

A soft verbal ?

@SheLkeBrwnBoys: as of now I'm committed to north Texas #GOMEANGREAN lol

Also says he's playing LB

mockcode911 · January 11, 2013

I like Sergio and his nose for the ball. He stays high and has great upper body strength and control but he will learn to balance using only his speed and upper body strength with new technique. I think he will learn quickly and can be an impact player. Don't really see the size that is reported and think he will impact more as safety than LB. Good add for mean green in my opinions.

Sergio flips to Tulane

If we replace him with Woods I'll consider it a bug upgrade. I wasn't a huge fan of the Medina commit

Nor was I. Obviously he tackled high, which is not as easy a fix as some of the people on here think, but he also seemed to get to the ball a little late and was not very explosive in his tackles, which would've resulted in him getting dragged at the next level.

Sour grapes I guess. I would've liked to have him because he was a good athlete with potential, but I was never a huge fan of his highlights.

Two straight years Tulane has plucked a linebacker from us right before signing day. I hope we kick their butt every year, starting this year so this doesn't happen anymore.

UNTLifer · January 27, 2013

See ya, didn't need ya.

Seriously, wish we focused more on Texas and Oklahoma kids. The Louisiana recruits tend to want to either go back home or stay from the get go. I understand that and wonder if we would be better served focusing or efforts elsewhere.

I was just thinking the same thing. I agree with your point 100%.
