Player: Rex Burkhead Hometown: Plano, TX Position: ATH Height: 5'11" Weight: 191 lbs. 40 time: 4.5 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Kansas, Texas Tech, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Cal, Michigan, Virginia Favorites: Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Big Red Report: Assessing the talent: ESPN evaluation says "Burkhead is one of those junk yard dogs that makes your roster meaner and tougher and we love that about him. He's a warrior, throwback type of player that will fight, scrap and sellout to get the job done and make the play." Hard-nosed John Lynch qualities that likely projects at strong safety and special teams. Old school baller. Rex the "junkyard dog"...I like it.

Recently visited Pitt. Penn State, Tennessee, and Stanford are recent offers. Is wide open at this point with no favorites. Scout has teaser saying he could potentially visit.

Dang...another injury to the defense. Bright side...these defensive players need to show Bo what they can do. Get better, Suh. I am looking for Suh to be reBOrn and seek and destroy like we all know he can do.

I also wish Blue a full and speedy recovery. I enjoyed seeing him play more and more last year. This gives other guys a chance to show they can play. It will be interesting to see who emerges as there will be much playing time to be gained.

From Husker Journal...listed even faster at 4.4...looks like Bo has some work to do but I like his chances against Sabin. FEBRUARY 20, 2008. PREP STAR RUEBEN RANDLE, WR, 6-3, 185, 4.4, BASTROP, LOUISIANA Has offers from LSU, Nebraska, Miami, Michigan and Oklahoma. “This weekend I’m going to LSU’s junior days,” said Randle, “LSU is close to home but I’m wide open, I don’t have any favorites.” “I’ve been to Baton Rouge before it’s a good atmosphere. The coaching staff are good guys.” “LSU coaches told me I’m the biggest and fastest wide receiver they seen in awhile.” he said, “They also don’t believe in red shirting.” “Bo Pelini (Nebraska) is recruiting me; he said it would be nice if I could make it down. I don’t know if I will visit them or not. Bo did a good job here (LSU), I’m sure he will do the same at Nebraska” said Randle. “I use to watch Nebraska on TV when Eric Crouch was playing." “I’ll probably visit Michigan during the season with my parent’s, it’s a big time college.” he said, “Michigan sends a lot of wide receivers to the NFL.” “I watch Michigan on television. I’m glued to the television on Saturdays and watch a lot of games.” “I like Alabama.” said Randle, “I might make an unofficial visit there this summer. I went to Alabama’s summer camp last year.” “I got to watch Alabama practice at the bowl game last year. I’ve talked to Coach Sabin a few times, he’s a good guy.”
