Any idea how much he wants to play with his brother Ok St is the only other team to offer both so far, so that could be an advantage

 
With his brother Alonzo committing to NU today, I hope this tips the scale a bit. He would be a great addition!

That kid runs ANGRY! :woo He reminds me of a Eddie George/Larry Johnson type of runner. Man I would love to have this kid at Nebraska!

Those are great comparisons. He also reminds me a bit of Ahman Green with how smooth and effortless his running looks. He probably needs to learn to get his pads a bit lower going through the line though. He runs pretty upright and will take some serious shots in college. I don't mean to be nit picky or anything...this kid would be an awesome addition to the team!

Remember that Eddie George ran upright a lot. He turned out pretty good! :thumbs In college that is! :lol:

 
As did Darren McFadden. He has an upright running style. And even with the number of carries Arkansas fed him, he had a relatively injury-free career. Yes, he got dinged up, but rarely did it slow him down or cause him to miss a game.

Depends on the runner. As I recall, Adrian Petersen also runs upright.

 
Brandon Jacobs of the NY Giants would also be another upright runner.

This guy looks like a beast in the making. Glad we have his bro and it'd be nice to land him as well.

The only ding that kid got was when he did a self induced flip into the endzone! :lol:
