I think he may sneak into the 4th or 5th round like TY Hilton. Haven't really studied him enough to see if he's a good route runner or not though. Dropped a catchable ball last night, but overall I think he has decent enough hands.

If he does not get drafted after this kind of season (and the awesome return seasons he had prior to this season), then all NFL scouts deserve to be fired.

As far as punt/kick returners go he has a good sample size with the pretty much most excellent results possible out there. And even at the NFL level he might be a servicable receiver to boot when you need one.

I can tell you he is not getting much pub right now in the draft scouting world. That's right now. I think part of the reason why is well UNT doesn't get a lot of pub to begin with. Secondly targets he just doesn't get the touches he deserves or demands. If the draft were today with no combine invite for him, he would not be drafted.

He will get a camp invite no matter what as a free agent.

Don't blast me for saying it that he wouldn't get drafted right now its just the truth. For him to get drafted he needs more touches and more pub. He needs to get an NFL combine invite or have an off the chart pro day. T.Y ran a 4.37 or somewhere in that range. So Brelan will need to run in the 4.4 range. I bet some scouts will have an issue with his size and the amount of punishment that he has already taken. The drops are a concern, but not a huge one. So right now he has done enough to get a look and a camp invite for sure. More work needs to be done in season and in draft prep for him to get that call on draft weekend.

I would really be concerned for Brelan's safety in the NFL. The way he runs with reckless abandon... those guys in the NFL don't hit like SBC and C-USA guys. Brelan refuses to go down on first contact, but in the league, he may get knocked out or worse if he tries to keep running like he does now.

I don't doubt it. If I was an area scout for an NFL team I would have been there too. No reason not to be with two good teams matched up and a chance to look at some players. Don't think they were there to just watch Brelan . I'd imagine they wanted to get a look at Zach Orr, a few of the UNT OLmen, prob Rice's corners as well. It could have been the game that gets a few scouts to start paying attention to him. Basically these scouts are going to collect all their information and report it back up the chain and then come draft season Jan-April they are going to return back to their orgs to discuss what they've seen. You have to hope that Brelan continues to make noise so he stays fresh in peoples minds. That would also mean more success for us.

I hope he continues to play well and gets that draft combine invite. I'm with you guys I think the guy is a tremendous player. I have no doubt in my mind he will get a shot at making an NFL roster, just not sure he will get drafted. To be honest I'd love for him to be drafted, but its not that important. What I want for him most is too succeed in the NFL and to have a long career. For everything he has done for the university and possibly being an all-American I think he deserves that long career. He will truly be missed.

I don’t think there is any doubt that Brelan will get a good shot and catch on with someone next year but getting drafted may be tough at his size. His stock is rising an all American selection is possible and a good 40 time could make it happen for him. But rather it’s him, Orr or somebody else this program has to get somebody drafted this year preferably a couple guys. The 9yr drought of bowl games and winning streaks isn’t the only monkey we need to shake. It’s been 10 years since Cody Spencer was taken in the 6th round and that can’t happen if we ever hope to start getting better talent to come play at North Texas. Will we ever be Texas or Alabama ect with 10 plus picks no but if you want to recruit you have to be able to show a kid we can get you the NFL if they work hard enough. We have only had 5 players drafted in the last 30 years a lot of d2 schools have more than that if we ever want to take the next step that has to change. Take nothing away from Patrick, Lance and Craig we need gritty guys like that who fight their way on to NFL rosters but we need to hear this programs name on a regular basis on draft day to start bringing in more talent. I think between Brelan the o-line and the linebackers we have a good shot at ending that streak this year or next if so we have to make it a trend and get someone picked at least every year or two.

Depends on his pro day and whether or not he gets a chance to play in a senior bowl really. If he has a good showing and can build some buzz he could be selected in the 6th or 7th. It would probably be better for him though if he goes undrafted and can decide where he wants to go.

seeing as he's getting some all-american KR/PR buzz, I would think he could get into one of the showcase bowls.

Dallas Cowboys had a scout there. And, if I read the seating chart right, a CFL team. But maybe more showed up that wasn't on the seating chart.

This.

And I hope Houston takes a good look at him because our return game -- and basically every other facet of the game *tears* -- needs the help.

      in the new world of NIL coaches contracts should not be signed for more than three years. There is no longer the luxury of building a team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.
