Eric the Red Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Player: Edward Britton Position: RB Height: 5’11”-6’0.5” Weight: 160-170 40 time: 4.44-4.51 Visit Date: 10/2/04 Scholarships offered: Over 6, including Baylor, BYU, Nebraska, Oklahoma St., Texas Tech and UTEP Favorites: Nebraska, Texas Tech, UTEP Rankings/Stars: Rivals: #22/*** Insiders: NR/* Assessing the talent: He really isn’t getting notice by many colleges. Most likely because of his size. Besides Oklahoma St., no other major football school has shown interest. Last year, Britton amassed 2,172 yards rushing, averaging almost 9 yards per carry and over 220 yards per game. Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 5% He has really narrowed down his selections to Nebraska, Texas Tech and UTEP. Nebraska is recruiting him the hardest. Apparently his entire family will be traveling with him to his visit to Lincoln. He doesn’t believe he will commit on his visit, but who knows. I can’t imagine TTech having something NU doesn’t. Although I have to wonder if one of these other “highly touted” backs commits, Britton goes elsewhere. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 He has confirmed his visit this week in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Rivals/Huskers Illustrated had a chance to interview Britton and he loved his visit. He gave it a ten. He will wait till after his visits to Texas Tech and UTEP to make a decsion. He toured the campus and took part in all pregame team activites including the tunnel walk Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Britton called it a "mind blowing" experience, according to Rivals. This kid seems kinda small though. Only about 165 pounds!! Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 He was interviewed on Big Red Wrap up and Sean Callahan of Huskers Illustrated called him possible the best player in West Texas. Britton said he would like to have a decision by the end of the month (october) Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 storylooks like price is going to get him at el paso. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I don't know if I would say that UTEP has the inside edge. Every local paper is going to make it sound like their team has an advantage. Plus, I don't know that many people that are going to come right out and say that their recruiting visit sucked. The article said that Price had him go off campus a little bit more than what Nebraska did, which I don't understand because Britton is from El Paso so I don't see a reason for him to be going around the town.

Eric the Red Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Huskers Illustrated has a strong suspicion he will pick Texas Tech at the end of the week. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 Edward Britton has commited to Texas Tech citing the closeness to home. I think this works out quite well, I didn't think much of him anyway Quote Link to comment
