Former Alabama Fullback transferring to Nebraska?

[Spartness]

But you heard one recruit --- don't remember who ... say he was told by one coach N was going to a two-back system. And this was before it was known that Watson and Gilmore were gone. But who knows what's ahead for us. We will see, won't we.

Doesn't make much sense... Where would he fit in our offense?

What is our offense? Seems I remember a change happening.

Spread option, which is by all accounts what we're going to be running. I don't see many fullbacks at Florida or Auburn or Oregon.

Maybe we are going to the Pistol :woo :woo :woo ...please god be the pistol chuckleshuffle chuckleshuffle

This kid was recruited as a fullback and a linebacker out of high school. The kid is definitely listed as 268lbs and a RB on Eastern Michigan's football roster. Here

I question him coming here for a few reasons...

1) He missed the deadline to enroll (Braylon Heard would have had to enroll (had he made his grades) by mid January)

2) He is on the 2011 Eastern Michigan roster

3) When mentioning the schools looking at him, back a few months back, his 3 were Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin and small schools. Never any mention of Nebraska.

It'd be nice to have this kid at either LB or a big up the middle RB, but I just see too many reasons why it won't happen over reasons why it would. Guess we will wait and see though...

It looks like we were recruiting him and offered out of high school: http://nebraska.scout.com/a.z?s=204&p=8&c=1&nid=3426139

Of course he's listed below Bodtman...

Big athletic guy, I can't wait to see how we use him.

Isn't his dad coming here to help coach and now Mike MIGHT come to Nebraska?

 

[BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA]

After he sits out a year would he have 3 or 4 years of eligibility?

 

[RedDenver]

So if he was at Bama and then EMU, what's the rule on transferring again? Still just 1 year?
