Comparisons between Nebraska signee Wandale Robinson and Purdue freshman receiver Rondale Moore have been made for a long time, and after watching Robinson during the first day of practice I definitely agree with those comparisons.
Moore was at the Army All-American Bowl last year, and he didn’t make a huge impression on me. He didn’t dominate, really didn’t separate from defensive backs like smaller slot receivers should and I wasn’t sold. Then he goes to Purdue and has an incredible freshman season in which he led the team with 114 catches for 1,258 yards and 12 touchdowns.
I can see Robinson having the chance to be a huge contributor early, and he’s a perfect fit for Nebraska coach Scott Frost’s offense. The four-star is excellent in space, he made some tough catches during the practice and showed he is dynamic with the ball in his hands. A late flip from Kentucky, Robinson could be a huge piece to Nebraska’s offense soon.
