Much has happened since last week’s update, most notably sophomore DT Bryce English went down with a foot injury during Tuesday’s practice.
A transfer from Kansas State, English was expected to start at nose tackle in 2017. Coach Seth Littrell confirmed to the Denton Record-Chronicle on Tuesday that English will be out several weeks, including (at least) the season opener on Sept. 2.
English, listed on the Mean Green’s website as 5’11”, 295 pounds, sat out last season after being denied a waiver by the NCAA. He had initially transferred from KSU to UNT to be closer to his father, who is battling cancer.
