Player: Ra'shede Hageman Hometown: Minneapolis, MN Position: TE Height: 6'5" Weight: 233 lbs. 40 time: 4.75 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Iowa State, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan State, Florida Favorites: Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Big Red Report: Assessing the talent: TE prospect can also play DE. He is a star basketball player as well. From ESPN evaluation: Hageman is a promising tight end prospect. He possesses good size and the frame to add more good bulk. He will need added size, but should have little problem getting up to a more ideal weight. He is a productive player as both a receiver and a blocker. In the passing game he can be a weapon. He is a tall rangy kid who looks to have a good wing span and can make some tough grabs. He can be a quarterback's best friend in the sense that the ball can be thrown up and he will go up and get the ball at its highest point. His size and ability to jump make him a tough match-up and a target in the red-zone. More here: http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...26season%3d2009 Video: Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 10%.

I met him last year when we went to the USC game. I kept in touch with him ever since. Nebraska’s facilities are the best, they improve about every year.” “Nebraska coaches say I know the offense well and developed my skills. They (Nebraska coaches) said they would like to see me in red and white. Coach Watson sends me lots of letters.” he said “I will probably make it to Lincoln June 9th for a day and see what is going on.” “Missouri Junior Day’s was a good time. It’s a local school. I know a lot of players from my school that play at Missouri.” said Scheelhaase “Missouri coaches said they want to keep all the instate players and branch out from there, become more of a national team.

They were the first school to offer me.”said Scheelhaase, “I use to make trip to Iowa City when I grew up, I saw a couple games there.” “Iowa is a good education. I like Big 10 football its hard nose football.” he said “I like Houston Nutt (Mississippi), they were my second offer. I feel good with their program. Ole Miss runs the spread offense the play fits my style.” “I check the internet to see what schools are recruiting quarterbacks. It’s important who they are after, who they sign. I do have the mentality to beat out who ever I do compete against. I will probably narrow my list down once I visit all the school this summer, I would like to make a decision by fall.” Some schools Nathan said he would like to visit this summer: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Mississippi, South Florida, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois.

Latest from Husker Journal. Will be interesting to see how this one unfolds. Sounds like we are in the mix and will get visit but we are already competing hard vs. Penn State and Alabama...and may end up against Notre Dame and Ohio State. I think he is LB prospect for us....may be RB/FB for others. MAY 17, 2008. PREP STAR MIKE MARROW, RB/FB, 6-1, 240, 4.7, TOLEDO (CENTRAL CATHOLIC), OHIO Mike has offers from Alabama, Nebraska, Penn State, Army and Toledo. “I know the head coach Bo Pelini (Nebraska).” said Marrow, “My dad is good friends with Bo they use to play basketball together at Cardinal Mooney (Youngstown-Ohio).

I know the Alabama coaches well.” said Marrow, “Coach Sabin sends me lots of letters and said they want me bad. I like the area, the SEC. Right now Alabama and Penn State are my top two schools.” “I like Penn State’s tradition.” he said, “Last year I went to the Penn State and Purdue game. I really liked it a lot, the campus is nice.” “Joe Paterno’s son Jay came by my school last week I missed him because I had a math test.” “Notre Dame said they will offer me in June. They want to see my test scores first.” said Marrow, “Notre Dame is the only school that is recruiting me as a fullback. Others want me as a running back. Notre Dame said they only want one fullback (2009 class).” “We just moved to Toledo last year from Columbus. My dad took a job here. Ohio State said they will offer me later. I went to some of their games last season.” he said “Michigan State came by last week to get film. It looks like they might offer me later.” Mike added that he would like to visit schools this summer and make a decision by fall. Alabama, Penn State, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Nebraska are among the schools Marrow would like to visit. Mike said he might not make the Penn State trip because of distance.

Player: Alex Logan Hometown: Denver, CO Position: S Height: 6'2" Weight: 195 lbs. 40 time: 4.53 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Texas Tech, Stanford, Cal, Washington, Washington State, Vanderbilt, Boise State, Colorado State, Wyoming, Northwestern, Colorado Favorites: Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Big Red Report: Assessing the talent: ESPN evaluation: Logan is a very instinctive and reliable safety. He has great size at 6 foot two and nearly two hundred pounds. Shows good athleticism in the openfield. Run support is sound when playing either free or strong safety. More here: http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...26season%3d2009 Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 15%. I like our chances if he wants to play in the Big 12.

Player: Osahon Irabor Hometown: Upland, CA Position: CB Height: 5'10" Weight: 173 lbs. 40 time: 4.5 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, Cal, Northwestern, Wyoming Favorites: Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Big Red Report: Assessing the talent: ESPN evaluation: Irabor is a fast, quick-twitched, talented two-way player at the high school level shining at both corner and wide receiver, but we project his future lies on defense in college. Possesses just average size for a cover corner with a lean frame that should continue to fill out well. Striking speed and acceleration; able to make up for his lack of technique and size at times with great recovery burst to the football and sound coverage instincts...Physical corner who looks to lay the wood on contact. Shows an extra gear when tracking and breaking under the deep throw as well. More here: http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...26season%3d2009 Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 15%.

From ESPN: Giles may possess the best burst and acceleration through the hole in this running back class. He reaches top speed by his second step and can shred a defense up the seam into the second level in a blink. Very sudden and shifty through traffic. More here: http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...cruitId%3d57319 Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 15%. Says he likes Tennessee as early leader but does not plan to commit anytime soon.

PREP STAR NICK ASH, OL, 6-5, 261, 5.2, KELLER, TEXAS Nick has offers from Nebraska, Texas Tech, Washington State, TCU and Houston. “Nebraska spring game was a nice time. It was amazing. It (the game) was a sell out more than 80,000 fans.” said Ash “I really like the (Nebraska) weight room all of the equipment is spread out. Most college it’s a bunched together. Carl Pelini is recruiting me he’s a good guy.” he said “TCU is a good school it’s close to home, 45 minute drive.” said Ash, “It’s a private school the classes are not big. TCU is in the process of building new facilities.

We had a player that went to Washington State four years ago.” “We (my dad and I) are flying to Michigan in two weeks.” said Ash, “Michigan coach came to our school and invited me to a coaches barbeque May 17. I don’t know if Michigan will offer I hope so.” When asked if Michigan offers would they be your top school. “Not really, distance would not be a factor with my dad working for American Airlines.” “My dad and I drove to Norman (Oklahoma) late February and talked to Coach Patton.” He said, “Coach Patton said he takes his time offering offensive linemen, he wants to get to know them better, wants an OU fit.” “Most schools are recruiting me as a offensive tackle because I have long arms and I’m spread out.” “I don’t know if I will make it to any summer camps yet. I plan on making a decision in September or October. I want to make a few visits.”

PREP STAR MAALIK BOMAR, OLB/WR, 6-1, 190, 4.5, CINCINNATI (WINTON WOODS), OH Maalik has offers from Nebraska, Connecticut, Toledo, Wisconsin and West Virginia. “I just got a letter from Nebraska saying that they offered me a scholarship.” said Bomar, “They want me to visit them this summer, I probably not because it’s so far away.” “I haven’t contacted Nebraska yet.

Player: Joey Fontana Hometown: New Orleans, LA Position: OL Height: 6'3" Weight: 290 lbs. 40 time: 5.08 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Arkansas, Kentucky, LA Tech, Tulane Favorites: Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Big Red Report: Assessing the talent: Good OL prospect could end up at C or OT. From ESPN Evaluation: Fontana is an extremely talented technician at the offensive tackle position. Even though he is only 6' 3" he plays much bigger. He also uses all 280 plus pounds to his advantage. Drive blocking is his specialty; comes off the ball with an excellent first short step and delivers as good punch with his hands. Gets great knock back against most opponents. If played just a little lower, would completely dominate the defender.
