LumberJackSker Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Is an Oregon State commit. Oh God, here comes the "Riley is offering is 2-star OSU players..." crowd. Halfway agree. This seems like a reach. even if it is a reach Nebraska needs linebackers in this class better some than none especially at a position of needs Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Looks pretty solid. Violent finisher as a runner. Good closing speed on defense . Quote Link to comment
blarson3 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Doesn't seem to have enough break away speed for rb IMO. But like someone mentioned earlier, his frame seems to be what bray is looking for. I think it's a alright offer! Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I just hope we beat out Texas State. In year four of my Dynasty in NCAA 14 I just moved them into our division in the Big 10 and they're a four star school. #beatoutthedivision Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Just watched the film. Hardly any footage of him as a SR at LB... almost exclusively at RB. However, from what I saw, I wouldn't mind an offer. Showed good lateral quickness at LB. Doesn't have the top-end speed to play RB at the next level, but very few LBs do. He's got adequate speed to be a good LB and honestly the lateral agility is more important. Guys like Roach, Bando, and... *gulp* Sean Fisher show what a LB looks like when they're too stiff and doesn't move well enough side to side. Roach and Fisher just weren't athletic enough. The thing about Bando is by all reports he has all the physical tools needed to succeed. Something about Bo's system (mentally) had him a step slow ALL the time. Hope Bray can coach that out of him. But I digress. Garbutt moves well side to side. He has excellent instincts. He has a strong knack for weaving right around blocks, picking through the garbage to get to the ball. And when he got there, he finished very well. Either dropped the ballcarrier or held them up til the rest of the D caught up. Liked seeing him run down the QB from the backside on a zone read keeper on the goal line (senior film). Ultimately, poor offer list, but there's a LOT of talent in Texas. Strikes me as one of those developmental guys Riley is so known for. Would like to see what Bray could do with him. We def need the bodies at LB right now. Quote Link to comment

HuskerFowler Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Looks like 3 for sure. Wouldn't be surprised to see 4. Lundie probably won't make it so I think we're at 14 looking to get to 20. I wouldn't be surprised to see two more at all. Quote Link to comment
