RockyMountainOySker Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 When Boca Raton, Florida wide receiver Robert Lockhart received an offer from the Nebraska Cornhuskers, he wasn’t about to wait very long to see what the school was all about. Lockhart is currently in Lincoln seeing the sights before he visits Virginia Tech this upcoming weekend. Bleacher Report Article Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Had 34 catches for 686 yards and 6 TDs Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So he's being recruited to play WR? I'm confused now, why did we not offer the kid from Bama, but we did this kid? Quote Link to comment

I think Earnest would have been a little bit of a stretch, but Robert plays in the second biggest class in the state of Florida and he seems to be more fluid and a better route runner than Earnest.

BIG ERN Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Looks like he would be more productive at DB than WR Quote Link to comment
iruletheskool Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 said the visit went very well and was what he expected. also said that the weather won't be much of a factor. Will be in VT, as previously stated, and will probably decide on signing day. Quote Link to comment

robsker Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Looks like he would be more productive at DB than WR His film was impressive. Has excellent hands. loves contact --- both as a WR and as a DB. Violent player as a safety. Has good field vision and nice moves. To repeat, great hands --- in his film he had a dozen diving catches and acrobatic catches that were borderline almost uncatchable --- and he caught them. His speed seems somewhat limited --- not a lot of second gear in him, but his lateral mobility, his spins, his elusiveness and his toughness (and those hands) might make him an excellent slot receiver over the middle. He is not a stretch-the-field guy but seems to be a really nice looking prospect. Love to have him. His ability to be a safety or a slot receiver and the toughness and hands.... yep... he would be real nice to have. Quote Link to comment

I am a computer dork so I don't know how to put his film into this thread. But... if you go to the BBS under Lockhart in their recruiting section you can see the film for yourself. If you watch it, I'd guess you would, like me, be impressed with some of the catches this kid made --- over the shoulder, behind him, diving, wounded ducks that were like fielding punts that he out-jumped/out-wrangled 2 -3 guys to get --- and he caught them all. And he was tough too. So yeah... like Nate Swift. Also, its not like he (or Swift for that matter) is slow --- it is just that his film was not about blowing by people --- but about being in traffic fielding passes that few people would have caught. And he was shifty too. And on D he was a missle. I would guess he has decent speed (not a strength or a weakness) but his hands, vision, and toughness are definite strengths. I really like this kid. If we land him, I will predict that he will be a real contributor for the Big Red within a few years --- not sure if on D or on O --- but with hands like that, my impression is... put him on O.

Nexus Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Read a post on another board that ESPN liked what they saw of Lockhart at an All-Star game a few weeks ago and bumped him up to a :star :star Apparently that was the reason why VaTech and Nebraska came into the picture late.

Robert Lockhart ESPN Nice. If ESPN is bouncing you up he must have played a really solid all-star game. I guess WR looks like his calling. Quote Link to comment
