Potter caught up in Husker tide

What a physical specimen. I would bet he adds 30 lbs of muscle and plays defensive end.

He said last night in an interview that he will report to summer training as a DE. He might get in on some TE packages, but he isn't sure at this point.

That would be great to see some people go both ways a little bit. Kind of like what the Patriots do.

1) What are your first impressions of this recruit (speed, strength, character, leadership, grades, etc)?

 

He's a big kid. Out there a little bit from what I've heard, but loves Nebraska football. Considered by Rivals as the best player in the state. Most people think that belongs to Jeff Souder, but Potter makes a good case for it, as well.

 

2) Rank his importance to the Huskers 1-10 (10 the most important).

 

9. Gotta keep them Nebraska kids coming in, and people are high on him to be an All Big XII DE some day.

 

3) Will he contribute right away? In what capacity?

 

I think he redshirts to put on some beef. With his speed and frame you'd want him at 270-280.

 

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

 

A big DE.

 

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

 

Starting at DE, maybe headed to the NFL afterward.
