He enters the 2022 season as a fourth-team selection to the Phil Steele Preseason All-American team looking to become the first player in program history to lead the team in tackles in four straight seasons. - North Texas Football

06/29/22 - KD Davis, rSr/2023, North Texas, 5-11, 232 (DS#27 ILB) + More +

North Texas linebacker KD Davis has pulled his name out of the NCAA transfer portal and will return to play a fifth season with the Mean Green. Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed Davis' plans to the Denton Record-Chronicle on Monday evening. Davis' decision marks the latest turn in a wild week for one of UNT's top players. "I want to thank you so much for the last 4 years of my football career and every accomplishment that has come with being a part of the team," Davis wrote. "The decision has not been easy, but I have decided to enter the transfer portal to explore my options to play at another level and show my talents in a different environment." Davis quickly became one of the hot commodities on the transfer market. He reportedly visited Ole Miss and Texas A&M over the weekend.

Davis has since deleted the tweet saying that he was entering the transfer portal. He had yet to post a statement on what went into his decision to return to UNT, but he did acknowledge a projection that he would continue his career with the Mean Green. The decision is a key turn of events for UNT as it looks to build on its fifth bowl appearance in six seasons under coach Seth Littrell. Davis has been one of UNT's top players in each of the last three seasons and was a first-team All-Conference USA selection last year. The former Ennis standout led the Mean Green in both tackles with 121 and tackles for loss with 13 in 2021. - Denton Record

North Texas linebacker KD Davis, one of the Mean Green's top players, has entered the NCAA transfer portal and is poised to leave the program. Davis posted a note on his Instagram account early Thursday afternoon indicating that he has applied to the NCAA to transfer. A UNT source confirmed to the Denton Record-Chronicle a short time later that Davis is in the portal. He took to Twitter late in the afternoon and bid farewell to UNT. "I want to thank you so much for the last 4 years of my football career and every accomplishment that has come with being a part of the team," Davis wrote. "The decision has not been easy, but I have decided to enter the transfer portal to explore my options to play at another level and show my talents in a different environment." Other programs will now be able to contact Davis, who could remove his name from the portal and return to UNT for his senior season this fall, a move that seems unlikely.

UNT removed Davis from its online roster late Thursday afternoon. The deadline for players to transfer and be eligible for the 2022 season was May 1. Davis will have to apply for a waiver from the NCAA if he transfers to another school, which would help him with the process. He has graduated from UNT. Davis has ranked among UNT's top players for the last three years and was the Mean Green's lone first-team All-Conference USA selection last season. The former Ennis standout led UNT in total tackles with 121 and tackles for loss with 13. - Denton Record

Mose has been a fixture on UNT's offensive line for years and started all 13 games last season at either center or guard. UNT relied on its running game during its five-game winning streak and averaged 283 rushing yards per game in that span. Mose was a big reason for UNT's success and was a second-team All-C-USA selection. - Denton Record

Roderic Burns came through in a big way when UNT needed him most last season. The Mean Green lost Jyaire Shorter and Tommy Bush to injury after both played in just two games. Burns helped fill the void while leading UNT in receptions (58), receiving yards (802) and receiving touchdowns (4). Shorter and Bush are both expected to be back by the time UNT opens the season with a game at UTEP on Aug. 27. Missouri transfer Jay Maclin will also play a key role. Burns should be among the Mean Green's best players no matter what happens with that trio. - Denton Record

05/10/22 - Austin Aune, rJr/2023, North Texas, 6-2, 215 (DS#42 QB) + More +

There hasn't been a UNT player in years who is as big of a lightning rod as Austin Aune. UNT's nontraditional quarterback is a former minor league baseball player, a dad and is 28. Aune lost the starting job heading into last season before winning it back. He went on to throw for 1,991 yards and nine touchdowns. UNT brought in transfers JD Head and Stone Earle to compete with Aune in spring practice. Neither came close to knocking Aune out of the lineup.

The Mean Green could still find a late transfer, but the bottom line is Aune steadily improved last season and continued that growth in spring practice. The former Argyle standout will be a much better player heading into what he has said will be his final year of college football than he was to start last year. That alone puts UNT well ahead of where it was a year ago. - Denton Record

05/05/22 - Mazin Richards, rSr/2024, North Texas, 6-1, 228 (DS#54 OLB) + More +

Mazin Richards felt like he had something to prove after emerging as one of the best defensive ends at the Division II level the last two years. The former Eastern New Mexico standout will get that opportunity at North Texas. Richards entered the NCAA transfer portal this spring after being named the Lone Star Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year. New Mexico State and a host of teams that compete at the Football Championship Subdivision level quickly offered a scholarship to Richards, who passed on those opportunities to commit to North Texas on Sunday.

"I was going to visit Tarleton and a couple of other FCS schools, but when I got on campus at UNT, it felt like home," Richards told the Denton Record-Chronicle on Sunday. "The opportunity to play at the FBS level in front of my family and 30,000 fans was something I couldn't turn down." Richards, who is 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, has two seasons of eligibility remaining. He played at Burleson Centennial, where he set program records for sacks in a game (four), a season (13) and a career (17). Richards landed at a Division II school because he was undersized as a 200-pound defensive end. He quickly matured once he got to the college level and became an impact player at Eastern New Mexico. - Denton Record

03/04/22 - Austin Aune, rJr/2023, North Texas, 6-2, 215 (DS#42 QB) + More +

Austin Aune thought long and hard about his future after North Texas' loss to Miami (Ohio) in the Frisco Football Classic last fall. Aune spent six seasons playing minor league baseball, a semester at Arkansas and three seasons at UNT before finally grabbing the starting quarterback job for an extended period last season. The former Argyle standout considered walking away after his daughter, Palmer, was born earlier this year. The chance to build on a five-game winning streak to cap the regular season last fall led him to come back, with one caveat. "I have two years of eligibility left, but this for sure will be my last year playing football," Aune told the Denton Record-Chronicle on Wednesday as UNT prepared for the opening of spring practice on Friday. "I want to get in a full year of playing, have fun and try to win a conference title and a bowl game." Aune, 28, is juggling working toward that goal and caring for his infant daughter. (He had to duck out of a phone interview to change a diaper.) "Having a daughter changed our lives a lot, but it's so fun being a dad," Aune said. "The biggest thing is learning to function without a lot of sleep. Other than that, it's great. My wife [Kristin] and I team up to take care of her." - Denton Record
