Does a difference maker emerge for UNT

Harry · June 20, 2013

Over the years, there have been a series of key players who have either come pretty much out of nowhere or seen their roles expand unexpectedly and really help UNT.

Jeremy Brown was a former walk-on, so was Ivan Delgado. Both ended up playing key roles for UNT. A few years ago, Casey Fitzgerald came out of nowhere to have a really good career at UNT.

Scholarship players are a different story when it comes to unexpected contributions, but I dont think anyone expected Zac Whitfield to win a starting job and then play pretty well after making the move from running back to cornerback. Carlos Harris contributed after being thrust into the lineup after Brelan Chancellor broke his collarbone.

And that brings us to this season, and the key question Does another difference-maker emerge?

I don't think just one will cut it.

I think just one go to possession receiver like Terrell or Loving could be huge for the offense. It will prevent teams from loading up against the run and make our running backs more effective.

I'm thinking Darvin Kidsy. He has the speed to get separation and his route running was very impressive for high school, not to mention he had some good blocking on his highlights.

I'm not denying that could be huge. But to actually have a winning season, we will need someone (mostly) unexpected to step up at QB, WR, DT, DE, and DB.
