Texas wide receivers coach Nick Quartaro was on the line and wanted to know if
McDorman would be willing to join the Mean Green this fall.
The
former Wichita Falls Rider defensive tackle didn’t have to think about twice
before telling Quartaro and UNT head coach Dan McCarney that he would be happy
to start his college career earlier than planned.
McDorman
was among three players who committed to sign with UNT in its 2012 recruiting
class and later agreed to put off enrolling at the school until January, a
practice known as grayshirting.
UNT’s
coaches changed course and asked McDorman to enroll in the summer when another
scholarship became available for this fall.
“I
was hoping that it would happen,” McDorman
McDorman
will report to UNT on July 5. “I have kept in shape and continued to work out,”
McDorman said. “I am hoping that I can help right away.”
