Derick Mourning
Inside Linebacker
6'3" 228 lbs
RS Sophomore
Derick, a 247 3-star recruit from Paetow High School in Katy, Texas, saw action in every game as a true freshman at Arizona, where he showed improvement and ended with 3 tackles in each of his last 2 games. Despite his strong performance, he was an academic casualty and left Arizona after one year for Kilgore JC.
At Kilgore, Derick continued his strong play, finishing second in tackles with 86, tied for first with 7.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble. Now a full academic qualifier, he is a welcomed addition to Texas State, which needs inside linebackers following the loss of our two leading tacklers and linebackers, Sione Tupou and London Harris. I wish Derick was here for the Spring, but since we will have to wait until the Summer, he earns 4.0 stars. Regardless, he will be in the rotation with high expectations.
4.0 Stars!!
