Confident Kidsy an eager learner for UNT

[Harry]

Over the course of his career, North Texas coach Dan McCarney pretty much has seen it all when it comes to the personalities and confidence levels of players.

McCarney has coached quiet guys and loud guys, confident guys and guys who needed encouragement.

Then there’s Darvin Kidsy.

Even McCarney, who got into the coaching business in 1977, had never encountered anything quite like the UNT freshman receiver.

“He’s really confident,” McCarney said. “He called me more than any of the signees did, and it continued once he got here and camp was going on. Most of the time it’s coaches calling student-athletes, reminding them of this or making sure that they are here on time for that. He wasn’t kissing my rear end. He wanted to tell me

about how this could be one of our better freshman classes and how he could help us on the field.”

The best part for UNT is that Kidsy has backed up all that bravado and worked his way toward the top of the Mean Green’s wide receivers rotation heading into a game at ninth-ranked Georgia on Saturday.
