DeathCultArmaggedon Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Player: Jaydan Bird Hometown: Conway, KS Position: LB Height: 6'2" Weight: 215 lbs. 40 time: 4.5 Bench max: 345 pounds Squat max: 450 pounds Vertical: 29 inches stats via Rivals Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Kansas State, Miami (FL), Oklahoma Schools of Interest: Nebraska, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas State, Miami (FL), Oklahoma, Oklahoma State Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Bid Red Report: Assessing the talent: "Extremely talented middle linebacker prospect who missed several games as a junior due to a cracked fibula. He played in four and had 60 tackles. He ran for 1,500 yards and 23 touchdowns as a sophomore at fullback. He'll be one of the nation's top linebacker prospects for the Class of 2009." via Scout Great prospect very close to home. Hopefully location is a big issue to Jaydan. Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 10%. Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 60 tackles in 4 games WOW Quote Link to comment
KS HUSKER Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 60 tackles in 4 games WOW Saw him play a couple games last fall down here in Kansas and he is the real deal. Comparing him to Jordan Bedore out of Goodland, KS(now starting center for K-State but played LB in high school), Bird has him on speed (not even close) and just having that physical presence. This kid flies to the football on every down. He busted a 55 yard TD run after running over one our defensive linemen like a Mack truck and then put in another gear and outran everyone to the endzone. Plays for a 3A powerhouse down here in Conway Springs with 5 state titles the past 9 years. Has that nasty mentality that would fit great with a Bo Pelini coached team. Would be a great get for the Big Red! Quote Link to comment

If so, have they mentioned anything regarding college preference? Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 FWIW his Trainer and Mentor is the same guy that Arthur Brown has Quote Link to comment
DeathCultArmaggedon Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 FWIW his Trainer and Mentor is the same guy that Arthur Brown has That is disheartening. Nebraska wasn't on Arthur Brown's radar for the last 6 months of the recruiting season. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I must be missing something.. if he's one of the top linebacker commits of the class, why is there only 1 star next to his rating? there's obviously an explanation i'm sure with that being said... holy crap that guy is on the roids Quote Link to comment

The other players will get their actual star rankings closer to the season. Often they come out mid summer. Quote Link to comment

I coach down here and it's a lot of "hey, I heard that he's really interested in......." - Once we start getting closer to August, I'm sure the Wichita Eagle (our paper) will start digging up and putting the info in the paper. The kid is good! Quote Link to comment

He had a monster sophomore year and then had a season ending injury to his ankle in week 4, I believe. I just really think he fits that Bo Pelini mentality of bust your butt, fly to the ball, and cause a train wreck. Quote Link to comment
nhuskers5 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I played against him in football one year for Mulvane, and he can hit! Quote Link to comment
nhuskers5 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I live near the town he used to play for(Andover Central) and he played our team in the playoffs his sophmore year. He ran all over us. I play on the football team here in Mulvane and we have a pretty good Linebacker, his name is Huldon Tharp. He plays running back too. I'm suprised the huskers haven't offered him yet. Bird is not a real great character kid, he transfered basically because the coaches didn't kiss his butt and let him do what ever he wanted. Quote Link to comment
