247 Sports: Tyler JC defensive end Epley commits to Frogs

Jeremy Clark

TCU added a key addition to their 2017 class on Friday night as Tyler Junior College defensive end Michael Epley committed to the Frogs. Epley announced his commitment via his Twitter account.



Epley made an official visit to TCU last week and official received his offer from Gary Patterson. The newest commit told HFB on Friday night that TCU was just the best fit over Texas Tech, Houston, Marshall and Arkansas among others.

"It was just a perfect situation for me at TCU," he said. "It checks everything I wanted in a school and program."

Interesting to realize that, ten years ago, this kid would have been offered out of high school and already been on the field for us.

Love DL and OL commits. That is where championships are made.

How good is this athlete? I do not know much about him.

Patterson said some time ago that the staff needed to find a d-end that could play "now". Looking at the numbers on defense, surprised that D-End is that great of need.

Looks like a gamer. Coach on the field. Heady. Scrappy. Makes the most of his abilities. Deceptive speed.

Add gym rat to that list and you've got all the code words for White Guy.

You know that Tipa is off the team right? This guy is a plug and play dude who had really good numbers who has great technique and plays assignment sound football...plus he's 25 pounds heavier than Tipa!

12.5 sacks for Epley last year.

You can never have too many good Def. linemen. More chances to rotate them and keep them fresh.

Sounds like a description of Paul Dawson

A good DE has a change to star in a GP defense. Glad to see we got another one.
