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

This guy seems like a class act all the way around. Great to have a kid like this come to NU

 

 

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

This guy has to be a 10. He is the first in what I hope to be a longer line of great players to come through in the Callahan era.

 

 

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

Depending on how the QB situation looks coming into Fall ball, I would look for him to redshirt

 

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

I honestly can't think of anyone at this moment.

 

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

Starting QB. Barring anything catastrophic.

[HuskerBob]

The golden boy has arrived!!!!!!! he shall take us to the promise land!!

[fasteddie]

i like this kidz attitude. brett favre esque.

[bigredtoad]

He seems very aware of NUs tradition, which is important. also one of the main reasons he chose NU was, believe it or not, b/c we are a cold weather state!! said there was sometghin about playing in cold temps that just made it seem real. mainly b/c of his idol, Favre.

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

 

Awesome attitude, Awesome ability, everything you want in a QB

 

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

 

10, we need a franchise QB to lead us

 

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

 

He will be starting by the end of the year. Like he said, he is coming to play and the playbooks from NU and his H.S. are almost identical.

 

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

 

FARVE

 

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

 

Leading us to the proimise land

[trashedstreet]

he is already a god i our state and he has not even taken a snap. i read that story about how his mom and him were driving to lincoln going 102 and got pulled over and got off with a warning. I am going to have to say i am Harrison Beck next time i get pulled over....

 

for some reason i do not think that will work. I cannot wait to see him play. The anticipation for the huskers to start playing again is killing me. This is even crazier than last year.

 

 

derf

[kramer]

HOLY CRAP >>>>>HE'S FINALLY OURS

 

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

He was offered scholarships to Mich, Florida, Miami and he committed to NEBRASKA

 

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

10 nothing else needs to be said

 

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

yes. He knows the offense too well to sit and watch. He's too competitve in practice to keep him off the field. He could very well start

 

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

Marino with his throwing motion. Farve and his attitutde

 

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

Starting QB for the national champion Nebraska COrnhuskers

[Eric the Red]

Callahan looked at Beck six times befoer they recruited him. He commented on Beck's desire to be a great football player. and want to become better.

 

Appreciated Beck's "ok" to get another QB in class (referring to Taylor).

[Pedro Guerrero]

Heard this kid on the radio tonight. He sounds like he has his stuff together. Hopefully Taylor or Dailey can step up next year so we can redshirt Beck. Who knows though maybe Beck will come in and blow the doors off this place.

I think that he knows as well that he can be the very first pro style QB that becomes a star at N. Thus creating his own legacy.

[joshuavacek]

Harrison wants to play right away and he saw that oppertunity at NU. I do not think he will, or wants, to be redshirted. He wants to play this year. The competition at QB this year will be awesome.

Rivals says he will be redshirting

[kc_husker]

Im not saying he should start but does rivals coach our team?

[oviedol55]

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

 

Great leadership. The speed to matter. He can scramble quite well. Has great character, loves the tradition of Nebraska football. Grades are good I'm pretty sure. All-in-all a great kid who fits well with our Nebraska tradition. Hopefully he'll be to the WCO what Frazier was to the option.

 

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

 

10. We got the number one QB on our board. We turned down Ryan P. and Mark Sanchez who we had great shots with, and Crompton and Christensen who we also had shots with. I think the coaches are confident in his abilities and we should be, too. Watch his new film on Rivals, he's amazing, and he stays cool, is a great leader and has a great huddle presence. Should be perfect for our future.

 

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

 

Nah, he'll redshirt and start as a RS Sophomore. Taylor, Dailey, Adams will all be juniors. One of them will take the throne for the next two years.

 

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

 

I hate to do this, but Favre. He's a gunslinger with great leadership. Might not be the best fundamental wise or make the conservative decisions, but he'll zing it in there and get you a TD that Mark Sanchez or Ryan Perrilloux wouldn't be able to.

 

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

RS Senior leading us to a national title. After that, a late first round draft pick.
