UNT changes course, and adds Dylan McDorman to 2012 recruiting class


Dylan McDorman was getting ready to head to his job at Cavender’s in Wichita Falls late last week and a phone call changed his plans for the next year according to a media outlet.

Dylan McDorman 
North 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.”
