UL's football squad got its first verbal commitment on the defensive side of the ball Thursday, getting a pledge from defensive end Kyle Cox of Barbers Hill, Texas.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Cox, a two-time All-District 21-4A selection, gives the Ragin' Cajuns a total of four commitments to the 2007 recruiting class. Cox was one of approximately a dozen prospects to make an official visit to UL last weekend.
"The coaching staff didn't try to pressure me into anything," Cox said Thursday. "They told me it was more important to be somewhere where I would enjoy my four years, and I thought that I could there."

Cox helped lead the Eagles of head coach Don Price to an unbeaten 10-0 regular-season record. He finished his senior year with 85 tackles including nine for minus yardage and three quarterback sacks. He also had 19 quarterback pressures, forced five fumbles and recovered five others, and had two interceptions from his defensive end slot - one of them ending up in a 57-yard touchdown return.
"I'm working a lot on my speed because you can never be too fast, and I do powerlifting in the off-season so I'm getting stronger," he said.
He was a member of Dave Campbell's Texas Top 300 list and the TexasHSFB.com Class 3A All-Region team as a junior last season. He was a pre-season All-Southeast Texas pick by setxsports.com. Most of this year's post-season squads in Texas have not been announced.

Twice first team all-district in one of Texas' tougher 4A districts. Listed as a LB in Texas Football's 'Texas Top 300' list.
His team was 10-0 in the regular season this year.

Kyle Cox DE; Barbers Hill HS, TX 6'4" 230lbs.

He seems strong, but stiff as hell. I mean at first I wasn't a fan of getting a 230 lb. DE, then I saw guys like T.Hills come in and be really light, then H. Davis and Lanaux. The difference between all those guys and this guy, as far as his film shows, is quickness. I hate to be negative because I really beleive Bustle knows what he's doing but, I don't know I just get a weiry feeling about this one.
But what the hell do I know; I sincerely hope he shocks me and makes me look like an idiot, but I stand by my opinion from this film.

From past recruits under Bustle, probably not. He will most likely be redshirted and be bulked up around 10-20 #'s and stay at DE. This coaching staff (ok..... the most recent combination) likes to move smaller players down to utilize speed. SS>LB, LB>DE, DE>DT, etc.
From film, this guy does not have the speed to play LB, but does have enough speed for DE with a good frame to build on. From film, he looks like he has good lateral movement and plays with good mechanics and leverage.

Remember, this was also under different coordinaters. I thought with his size, hed be moved to LB, and now after seeing the video, I more than ever I feel that theyll move him to LB, due to our depth at DE in the next couple of years (We've recruited that position heavily in the last 2 years).
