Eric the Red Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Player: Ronnell Grixby Hometown: Omaha, NE Position: RB/DB Height: 5’9” Weight: 191 40 time: 4.5 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska scholarship revoked (OWH 2/11/07) Favorites: Nebraska Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Bid Red Report: Assessing the talent: Great balance with surprising strength and speed. Might be playing defensive back in college. Per: A Step Ahead: Jim Stefani's Underclassmen Football Recruiting Blog One of the top safety prospects in the nation……It seems as though Ronnell has been a big-time prospect forever, as he already made a name for himself as a freshman starter for in-state power Omaha Central (the school that produced Gale Sayers)…...A two-way prep star at RB and safety……As a sophomore he rushed for 1,005 yards and had 370 yards receiving………As a freshman he tallied over 70 tackles on defense……..At RB, he has great vision, hands, burst and power. He’s gotten much bigger and more powerful..........Some feel he could be the best prospect to emerge out of Central in years…….Projects as a free safety in college due to his instincts, physical style of play and hard-hitting nature……..Very gifted athlete who runs well, has surprising strength and had a 34-inch vertical as a freshman. Just lacks ideal height…….Solid bloodlines as he is the younger brother of Nebraska CB Cortney Grixby and former Nebraska RB Deante Grixby…….Also stars in basketball, averaging 14 points and 5 assists per game as a sophomore point guard………….Nebraska was the first school to offer Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 80% Looks as good as in. Look for to make a visit or two though. Everyone's known for a while that Ronell Grixby (RB Omaha Central), brother of DeAnte and Cortney, will be receiving an offer. From an inside source very close to the family, there is a very good chance he's going to Nebraska. He would like to take a few trips, one to Iowa seems likely, but just to see what else is out there. At least that's the way things seem to be shaking out now. Quote Link to comment

There a few other guys that are going to be offered. Today is Sept. 1, the first day juniors can be officially offered. On of the recruiting services just ran an article about Grixby and basically said the same thing I had above last week. NU will be difficult to beat Quote Link to comment

gamecocks Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Since the 2008 recruiting class has its own section, can we split up the prospects and recruits? Quote Link to comment

Hawkeyehusker Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ronell will definately be a husker. He will probably be a four star recruit. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Good pickup he's a little short but hopefully is athleticism can make up for it. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 His size might be a factor if he plays db but if he is a rb, then I don't think it will matter much. Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 if he is a rb, then I don't think it will matter much See Cory ross. Quote Link to comment
Axl_sued_me Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I don't think that we should offer to the Grixby's anymore. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 If we didnt have Cortney right now, I think the towel boy would be playing corner, so you shut your mouth... Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 so you shut your mouth... "You shut your mouth when you're talkin to me!" Quote Link to comment
