And we mean twins in the literal, brotherly sense.

While the school has yet to announce the additions, Rashad and Vershad Jackson confirmed to the Denton Chronicle that they both have decided to transfer to North Texas to continue their playing careers. The twin brothers are transferring into the Mean Green football program from New Mexico by way of Blinn College.

The impetus for the decision appears to be a desire on the part of the Texas natives to return closer to home.

2 questions:

1. Will they be coming in on scholarship?

2. Did they play at Blinn?

It doesn't appear so. If they in fact didn't, they may be eligible able to play this year as redshirt sophomores. Although if Jordan Richmond has to sit out, they may also have to as well.

If they're coming in on scholarship, we may have as many as 8 spots in the 2015 class filled up. Between Jordan Richmond (DE/LB), Sam Rice (OL), Blake Bean (LB), Rashad and Vershad Jackson (DBs), as well as grayshirts Shaq Jackson (DT), Jon Graham (DL), and Caleb Chumley (QB). Not 100% sure if Bean or Rice are coming in on scholarship. Also, Dan Kottman has been reported by Vito as walking on.

I see no way that Sam rice isn't given a scholarship.

Based solely on the one article that discussed why they were dismissed from New Mexico makes me a tad apprehensive about these guys. But I think second chances are a good and right thing and I trust in Mac. So, welcome aboard guys.

What about Chad Reese of Tyler? (Wyoming transfer)

Has he changed his mind? Is he not at spring practice because he didn't get a scholarship offer and would have to pay his way? It appears that he could contribute with his final year of eligibility in 2015.

Not sure. I don't think he was going to be here for this semester. Thought he was planning on walking on in the fall.

That article, and tweet, is from late January. Which was after the start of the semester. May have just decided to wait to enroll until fall.

      2025 DC Wish List

      For all the decisions after that weather aided win over UTSA, a 2025 season without 9 regular seasons or a bowl game being the 9th win should get everyone but Patrick Cob fired. Like others have pointed out, being a DC under a coach on the hot seat is not likely to be a stable position attractive to DCs that are covetted. So either you bring in a DC with an extended contract as the HC in waiting or you just roll the dice with a less experienced DC. I don't this can happen, but I would like Zach Orr. I want to see a 2026 or 2027 with Patrick Cobb and Zach Orr at the helm. Either one as Head Coach and the other as Assistant HC and coordinator for their side of the ball. Eric Morris just isn't ready to be a head coach at this level. If we were still in CUSA or contending with programs like Southern Miss, La Tech, UTEP, Rice, ULM, South Alabama and Texas State it might be a different story. In AAC and above coaching, talent elevation is just too good to achieve anything significant with one side of the ball that has NOTHING it does well consistently. Hell if they could just tackle people aren't walking out early 3rd quarter.

      2025 DC Wish List

      So what’s Jared’s football background? Besides interviewing, how would he know the best candidate to hire? EM definitely needs some input since you don’t want to have division on the team when the HC isn’t on board with the DC hire. Then again, EM had his chance. At this stage in his career, he still needs guidance.

      Chandler Morris & DT Sheffield: NIL Card Show Appearance - Come show support!

      @BigWillie I got there later during the signing period, so I only saw a few obvious Mean Green fans. That included one fan who repeatedly assured me we would finish 7-5. However, I chatted with some folks and it sounded like there was a really good turnout. Apparently there was a long line of fans right at 2:00 for signatures. There was a large table area for mini helmets, and there weren't many North Texas helmets left when I bought one. That was encouraging too.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I tend to hope so. Eric seems to have eroded the trust he originally had in terms of his decision making skills.
