Great Story - Youri Yenga!

If you watch this guy's story you can't help but root for him. He's only played the game for 3 years so his upside potential is unlimited. I think he might be a steal. There's a good video on him on one of the local sites - very impressive!

Jesus, this kid is a beast. He is going to be one hell of a player here. I cannot wait to see him. Wonder if he'll get the redshirt this year? I hope not! He def. is a steal, seems like he could have played @ UT, A&M, OU, Tech, etc... Also, didn't we get the 6th best player in Oklahoma? Not saying much, but it seems like talent that highly ranked usually goes to OU, Texas, OK state or even Tulsa before it considers us. I forgot his name, but hes a CB/WR, and I think he is expected to play WR.

Finally, has anyone seen that Gatorade video with the high school football players? You know the one with Bill Parcells at the toll-booth? The school portrayed is called Trinity, and it had the same logo as the one in the video. Is that the same school? Either way, I can't wait for football to start!

you are talking about Devon Bailey, and he is expected to be a safety, possibly playing from day 1. Coach Bennett subtly said that he thinks Devon has NFL potential

The school is the same and the team is the same. However, from what I understand all of the young men in the video are actors and not actual players from the school.

Friend of mine saw video on Yenga, said the guy clearly has all the tools to be a pro one day

Wouldn't it be great if this guy was the difference maker on our D? I am not expecting our D to be stellar, but much improved with him in the box and Bailey helping to patrol the defensive backfield. Football season can't get here soon enough?

I just want someone who can convert a 4th and 1

I thought Youri Yenga was exceptional on the highlight video at the Mustang Club function, and the way he shucked those big blockers was amazing. Put some muscle on that kid, and we've got ourselves a real player.

I hope they all pan out, but a guy like this is interesting if for no other reason than he's only been exposed to the game for 4 yrs

Will be interesting to see where he ends up. A "tweener" with LB size but not the speed we need at LB. I assume the coaches figure he will muscle up like Rogers did and with his quickness and speed, could turn out to be a very productive DE
