huskernation20 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Justin Jackson Defensive tackle Lincoln (NE) Norris Ht: 6-foot-3 Wt: 252 lbs Forty: 5 secs Bench max: 340 pounds Squat max: 515 pounds Vertical: 29 inches Class: 2008 (High School) Decided to utilize the walk on program and is headed to Nebraska. Welcome Justin! Very impressive that he turned down scholarship offers from UNO, SD, NWMSU, just to become a Husker! He is always dreamed about playing for Nebraska. That's what I am talking about. Husker kids wanting to PLAY FOR NEBRASKA! That tackle.....on your avatar.....did that QB die? Quote Link to comment

macroboy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Recently, in a radio interview, TO said recruiting won't be where it needs to be until we re-establish a very strong walk-on program. During the TO years how many walk-ons did we have in a recruiting class? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Recently, in a radio interview, TO said recruiting won't be where it needs to be until we re-establish a very strong walk-on program. During the TO years how many walk-ons did we have in a recruiting class? While the scholarship limits were higher (120 in early 70's) I'd say there were 15 to 25 walkons each class.

So a full recruiting class with a full walk-on class would be closer to 50 new athletes. Thanks for clarifying. Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Add Brian Thorson to the list..I think. Quote Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Heard a kid by the name of Damon Betchtold will walk on too. I've also heard that Damon Benning was pretty high on this kid a while back - considered him a better prospect than Tim Biere prior to getting hurt (or something along these lines).

BelieveN Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Kenny Anderson a DE out of Millard West will walk on...6'3 225 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Kenny Anderson a DE out of Millard West will walk on...6'3 225 I hope Drwal and Meyer walk on also. IMO Drwal could be a great player, against Millard North Fisher along with another guy would double him but Drwal would still make plays. I would keep an eye on Drwal if he chooses to walk on.
