[Street Novelist]

He certainly put up good numbers at UNLV last season, but man is he small!

 

[Huskerfollower4life]

I actually think he should be rated higher

 

[commando]

can we get him for the $$$ we have allocated to the QB position? seems to me he will command more than we were wanting to spend at QB

edit to add....but he looks like a good one to gamble on if we can get him.

 

[Crusader Husker]

I am not sure what he will go for. As people said, he is short. I watch a lot of UNLV. He did disappear against Boise State in the MWC Championship game.

 

[Wistrom Disciple]

Injury risk? Big Ten has not been very kind to undersized QBs.

 

[The Murphinator]

Make sure he actually signs

 

[PasstheDamnBallGuy]

He looks weird throwing the ball but it seems to get there and have good accuracy. Dynamic runner and playmaker. He is different but really just makes me think of Manziel when I watch him play. This is who I wanted most even over Minchey. Will be fun to see what Dana does with the offense around him.

 

[Crusader Husker]

As a UNLV fan, I can get behind this one.

So... in ~30 years there have been two that come to mind. Inclined to think those two are exceptions as the norm is 6'2 or larger to sustain the hits in a season. Really hope Colandrea is another exception, but we need another transfer QB in the fold as an undersized QB in a conference known for oversized players is not an ideal situation.

If he gets hurt he gets hurt…it damn sure won’t be because he’s under 6’2”

Just ball busting but for real, I think we can do better than the big ten isn’t kind to undersized qbs.

Riaola is plenty good sized…injured. Lateef is the size of a chick pea…injured..beau pribula is a giant…injured. if it happens it happens
