2017 Walk-On Class

Recommended Posts

It is really weird that a kid coming out of high school, who is son of an NFL MVP and SuperBowl winning QB, and who put up crazy numbers, didn't get a single offer from an FBS school.

 

I agree that getting Kade Warner as a walk-on is a steal. I just find it odd that nobody recruited him. I mean, any coaching staff can miss a particular player. But every school missing and/or opting not to recruit him? Seems odd.

This is a great get for Nebraska for several reasons.

 

1) he has a very high football IQ and is highly advanced in his knowledge of the game and routes with his dad's training. He gets the pro offense and has the advantage of catching passes from an NFL QB whenever he wants.

 

2) he is a high character kid who will sacrifice for the team, be a leader, make great grades, do everything that is asked of him, and go above and beyond with his work ethic. He is a Rex Burkhead type of character.

 

3) he has really good hands, a great feel for the field, runs good routes, and seems to hold up well to contact. hudl says he already squats 425 and benches 245, which are great numbers for an 18yr old. He also has some size we failed to get in our scholarship class at WR.

 

The only knock I see on this kid is he seems to be a bit slow and takes a minute after he starts running to get into his speed. That could be why schools didn't offer. His Hudl says 4.5 but he looks much slower. If he could grow an inch or two and get up to 240ish while keeping the speed he has he would be a solid tight end prospect. If he can make some speed and agility gains in our S&C program, he might turn out to be a really solid WR as well.

I'm very interested in seeing what this kid can do over time in the program. However, isn't a lot of your post speculation? Sure...chances are a kid of an NFL QB is going to have a high football IQ and be highly advanced in the knowledge of the game. But, that's not a guarantee.

GKF - please wait until players are done with senior season before discussing because we don't like speculation on a message board.

Cody Liske: The 2017 linebacker walk-on showed why he is one of the best athletes in the state of Nebraska. Liske qualified in the 100, 200 and as part of the 400-meter relay. Liske took first in the 100 meters with a time of 10.6 seconds, sixth in the 200 meters after running 22.6 in the finals, and leading Bennington’s 400-meter relay team to a gold medal. Liske, who is listed at 6-feet, 200 pounds, is slated to start his career on the defensive side of the ball.

 

Dylan Reynolds: 2017 walk-on Dylan Reynolds had a busy state meet, but showed off his athleticism. The Broken Bow athlete on the Class B long jump with a mark of 22-feet, 7.5 inches. Reynolds finished sixth overall in Class B in the 100 meters with a time of 11.0 seconds, and finished fourth in the 200 meters with a time of 22.4 seconds. The 6-foot, 170-pounder will start his Husker career on the offensive side of the ball at wide receiver.

 

Jordan Paup: The 2017 walk on showed off on both the track and the field this weekend. Paup won the Class C shot with a mark of 54-feet, nine inches. Paup was also on Central City’s 400 meter relay team, but that group was disqualified for a violation in the finals.
