The term "next man up" becomes more than a 'catch phrase' this week. Frosh RB Kwinten Ives is now a possible active player. I have had the privilege of coaching him for his HS years. The young man is a true 'diamond-in-the-rough' for Nebraska. He is a physical stud.....big, fast, strong, and great hands. More importantly, he is a great competitor, and a kid with outstanding character.

Kwinten Ives will surprise alot of people. Don't let the lack of "stars" fool you. He IS 6'3", and he IS fast. Our offensive line was young and relatively small this year, and Kwinten often had to all the work to break free. He is quiet and humble, and a team player. He could easily fit into any D! program a RB, WR or DBack. I truly believe he has been overlooked by recruiters because of our school size (we graduate less around 100 per year). I am looking forward to seeing posts in the next few years about what a fantastic recruit he has become!

Hey Huskers! I know there are many of you who may have questions concerning Kwinton. He was primarily a RB at our small HS, but was also active as a receiver and DB. He is 6'3", 180 lbs, VERY fast, and great vertical leap. Great hands, great moves, and physical. Because Palmyra is a small HS in NJ, he didn't get the attention that an athlete from a big program would get, but i will assure you, he is a keeper. Our offensive line was made up of primarily sophomores, and Kwinton quite often made things happen because of his own abilities. Had he been with a large school program, he could have excelled as a RB, WR, or DB. Our small program has sent 4 or 5 other former players to D1 programs in the past 6 years, and Kwinton is easily equal to or better as a a D1 prospect. He also excels as a basketball player and T & F athlete (check his bio on NJMilesplit.com).

I know this young man. He is the real deal. A complete athlete. Outstanding Basketball player, and excellent Track & Field guy.(Check out his stats on NJMilesplit.com.)
