Defense Special Teamer (Gunner): Insane - Have you ever seen these idiots play football? They run as fast as they possibly can down the field in order to run into an oncoming wedge/defender head on! But, busting up a wedge to allow another player to make the tackle on the returner is very important. This poster probably has some weird and wild ideas, but still get the job done. Eric Martin is just the most recent example of this position, but Brandon Rigoni may be the best. Speedy - Once the ball is in the air, the defensive special teamers need to get to the ball as fast as possible to either make the tackle or down a punt close to the opposing goal-line. There's nothing that frustrates a coach more than giving the other team 20 free yards! We need someone who is a speed poster and has the body control and ability to down the ball inside the 10! Young - Coaches love to use true freshmen on special teams. Normally they don't want their skill players getting hurt on a kick/punt coverage or returning. I think this position should be filled by a "rookie" of HuskerBoard - maybe someone who has only been here for 3 months or less...longer if we can't think of anyone. VOTING CLOSES FEBRUARY 28

Punt Returner: Fair Catch ability - If the PR knows he's going to get drilled if he tries a runback, he needs to wave the arm, concentrate on the ball, and make the fair catch. This poster should always think about the best way to approach a question and to give the best answer as to not bring on extra attack from others (and a spear tackle from a gunner)! Makes the first guy miss - The most important move for the PR is making that quick sidestep to the left or right to get the first man in to commit to a poor tackle (like Niles Paul's return against Colorado this year). Once this is accomplished, the PR can follow his blocks and use his cutting ability to score the TD. To me, this guy is really a sneaky member! He'll give you enough of a comment to reel you into arguing with him, and then, BAM! You've just missed the point completely, and the poster looks like a fantasy genius with his reply to your opposing viewpoint! Shifty - Can change directions on a dime, makes people miss. Look no further than Johnny Rodgers' electrifying return in the Game of the Century for the ideal of this trait. Rodgers dipped, dived and dashed his way through the heart of the Sooner coverage team en route to maybe the most important TD in Nebraska history. Lightning-quick speed and reaction time, young, smart, able to make an opening for himself where one doesn't exist. VOTING CLOSES FEBRUARY 28

We told him we want to use him like Carter - H-Back, move him around. Claims he runs a 4.49 40. He asked about making an official visit. We're trying to get him to come on an unofficial visit for the Spring Game but he's not sure if he can make that work. JUCO guys can take OVs in the summer so he's looking to come for what I assume is one of the Big Red Weekends - June 8th, 15th or 22nd. Two-for-two guy. December Graduate. So he was listed as a 2016 guy but must be a 2017 guy.

Already visited Kentucky, Michigan State and Ohio State. Planning to visit Tennessee and Notre Dame. Likely visiting Michigan now that they've offered. Wants to commit by the end of spring and peer recruit. Early enrollee.

He's guessing (for now anyway. I think)

17 catches for 316 yards and 4 TDs last year. Wonder if he was hurt the first part of the year - only had one catch in the first six games.
