UNT Players to keep an eye on in Fall 2013 camp

[Harry]

The purpose of this article is not to look at the guys who everyone in Denton will be talking about in UNT 2013 Fall Camp leading to their first season in Conference USA. Those guys are - of course - Brelan Chancellor, Derek Thompson, Brock Berglund, Darius Terrell, Darvin Kidsey, Reggie Pegram, etc...

Rather, I would like to focus in on a few of the guys who may not be in the bright spotlight but could very well have a big impact on the success of the program now and in future years. Some are new and some have been around for awhile. This list is certainly not all inclusive. In scanning the updated roster I saw many, many players who have sort of fallen under the radar for various reasons. UNT Head Coach Dan McCarney has been very consistent in terms of signing high school players and redshirting most of them so strength coach Frank Wintrich can do his thing.

The exciting thing about this building strategy Mac employs is that it provides you with a lot of wildcard, dark horse candidates to think about and consider as we inch closer to the 2013 season opener against Idaho. Here's a look at 10 guys that I think fit into this category.

Good article Harry, and thanks for the shoutout! It's always fun to see who emerges out of the guys we aren't exactly expecting.

Also, another side note on Reinhardt, according to his bio on meangreensports, he does have some d-line experience his sophomore year. While that was awhile ago it's not like the d-line would be completely foreign to him. Can't wait to see who emerges!

Good article, as usual. Several that you listed I hadn't considered as a factor but you make good points regarding their contribution.

Because of his size and being in a critical position, I'd add the name of Sir Calvin Wallace. So far the motivation lignt hasn't turned on but if and when it does he could single-handedly improve our defensive line. We have a lot of potential at defensive end but a 300 pound defensive tackle is as scarce as hen's teeth. Here's hoping that the light bulb comes on and Wallace "gets it".
