DRC: UNT working to take heat off Chancellor

[Harry]

North Texas knows exactly what it has heading into the season with Brelan Chancellor.

The senior is about as proven as a player can be at the college level after three seasons of highlight-reel catches and consistent production that has put him at the top of the scouting report for all of the Mean Green’s opponents.

The concern for UNT heading into its Aug. 31 season opener against Idaho isn’t Chancellor — it’s the wide receivers the Mean Green is depending on to complement him.

What wide receivers coach Mike Grant has seen during a little more than a week in fall practice has him and his players feeling better about the situation.

Darnell Smith, who essentially fell into UNT’s lap last season after walking on following two years at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa, has emerged as a leader and likely starter.

The return of Carlos Harris and the addition of transfers Darius Terrell and Carl Caldwell will provide UNT depth, while freshmen Darvin Kidsy and Turner Smiley are players whom UNT plans to develop.

“We are going to be a strong group,” Grant said. “Brelan is the center of it, but we have some guys who are coming on.”

Darnell Smith is a cool story. I am hoping he has a big year. Skip Caldwell is a guy that Mac was wishing would have been available last season but he had to sit out. Here's some video on him:

Is it just me or did they speed up his videos right after he caught the ball?

Him and Bre on the same side? ..one wide ,one in the slot...could be tough ! Go MG

I was hoping to hear something about Roderick Lancaster or Nick Schrapps. Walk ons are great but going in to Chico's 4th year you would think we would have some players he recruited (excluding Harris) coming in to the fold at wide reciever.

For just a second, I thought Dallas Lee may be feeling some heat.

Lol!!!

I thought this thread was about Chancellor Jackson. Wasn't too interested in taking the heat off him.

More stars more fun.

Is the WR from Vandy still with the team?

I do not see his listing on the football roster.
