North Texas signee Cason Applewhite brings disruptive edge upside and a high-motor frame
Applewhite is a **6-foot-4, 230-pound EDGE/DL** who already showed real pass-rush production as a senior at Palestine, finishing with **46 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 6 sacks and an interception** in 2025. He was named **Second Team All-District 9-4A** and was rated a **three-star prospect** by multiple recruiting services, with national edge rankings in the 100s to low 200s depending on outlet. What stands out beyond the stats is his stated focus on **consistency**, plus a coachable, workmanlike profile that North Texas can develop into a reliable rotational pass rusher.[1][5][6][7][9]
