Mean Green

I managed to get an advance copy of North Texas fall roster today. Here are a couple of interesting tidbits I picked up from the list.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned already, but UNT will gray shirt Southlake Carroll offensive lineman Nick Leppo. The Dragons' starting center suffered an injury last year and will gray shirt this season. Leppo will take less than a full class schedule in the fall and officially join the team at the semester break when a scholarship opens up. He is not on the fall roster.

A few interesting names came up as walk-ons. Sterling Carter will walk on and is listed as a defensive lineman. I have no confirmation of this, but my guess is this is the lineman who played for Houston Strake Jesuit last season and never signed. Scout.com had him listed at 6-3, 265.

There is an offensive lineman named Dan Holt on the roster that I am betting is a transfer from Midwestern State who played at McKinney North. Holt was listed at 6-5, 300, all the way back in high school.

And now for what you all really wanted to know. All the key players who were at one point or another were rumored to have left the team are still on the roster, with the exception of those we already know about - defensive ends Eddrick Gilmore and Alonzo Horton.

Robbie Gordon is also back on the roster.

Of course there is still some time left until the end of summer school, but UNT head coach Todd Dodge said he does not expect any more players to fall short academically.
