STUD KICKER. Say hello to the 50+ yd. field goal again.

[kramer]

Jordan Congdon may actually be the biggest recruit in this class.

 

NU isn't just going to start beating the crap out of teams. Just like in 1993, NU will have some "squeekers" on the road back.

 

A clutch field goal kicker is a necessity.

Callahan says Congdon could have gone anywhere he wanted. But he chose Nebraska. He comes from a great family in San Diego. As far as a kicker he's very accurate, and has a great leg. He will compete for a job right away.

[BelieveN]

1) very very accurate with a huge leg.

2) 8, we missed quite a few field goals last ear that were significant during the game.

3) for god sakes he should be the starter right when he steps on campus.

4) Reminds me of Kris Brown (good days)

5) in the NFL draft

[Benard]

I think he'll have a tough time beating out dyches but I thought that about deangelis and callahan still played him so who knows.

[joshuavacek]

I bet he walks right in to the starting Kicker position. How could he not???

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

 

Great kicker. Hit a 53 yarder and is the leading scorer in California kicker history I believe. Smart kid. Apparently a bit of an introvert. Said he stayed in his hotel room with his girl most of the All American weekend. Roomed with Reggie, we coulda used them two hanging out.

 

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

 

9. That's like a 12 for a kicker.

 

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

 

Of course. This is a no contest that he'll be starting.

 

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

 

John Carney. That's his mentor.

 

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

 

In the NFL. He's not Nungent or Janikowski, but he'll be our fourth starting kicker/punter in the NFL along with Kris Brown, Josh Brown and Kyle Larson.

The kid doesn't drink or anything, so we don't have to worry about that. The kids pretty religious. One of the reasons he committed to NU was because of the community Service Nu partakes in.

[joshuavacek]

Everything you want in a kicker, teammate, and person. Class Act.

[hoyamannn]

Could be our biggest factor this year.

[joshuavacek]

Yes, our kicking game sucked last year. Every time we made a little dirve and could put some points on the board and get some momentum, we missed the field goal. I bet Congdon walks right in and starts. He is suspose to have a big leg.

We need to be able to make a 40 yard field goal. Every great team can at least make that and kick touchbacks on a consistent basis... IMO we can't be great without a stronger kicker.
