Assessing the talent:

Heading into his senior campaign, Cain is expected to be the starting running back but some feel his future is at linebacker on the next level.

 

(Jr.) Was the Patriots' leading rusher with 1,122 yards and 15 scores on 132 carries.

(So.) Emerged onto the scene in his sophomore season accounting for 68 tackles five sacks and two interceptions on the Patriots State Championship team.

 

 

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 15%. Was high school teammates with Class of 2008 Husker signee PJ Smith. Has offers from Florida and Arkansas, with more big names likely coming soon. We shall see.

Interesting prospect, defintely fits the mold for a Pelini-LB. Know what position Florida wants him for?

[DeathCultArmaggedon]

Word is that almost everyone is looking at him as an LB at the next level.

He implied in his rivals article that Ark and 'bama were looking at him at rb, but maybe that is more what he is hoping-for and he glossed-over other stuff discussed.

 

If we do offer it'd be easier if other schools are looking at him at LB also.

Are we still looking for outside linebacker?

[MadcatNU]

the staff will have some experience moving a RB to LB with Glenn. If he has a good year, this might be a selling point to Cain.

Definately looks like the type of player we would like to have here.

Really? I mean, a lot of linebackers - and players in general - played different or multiple positions in high school.

I have no doubt that he'll get consideration from Arkansas as a running back - Petrino loves big backs, and has been going after a couple this season, including Wingo.

 

But the kid better be careful - Arkansas is even thinner at linebacker than Nebraska. Almost all of their top-tier guys have been injured, dismissed, or had brushes with the law since last season ended. Arkansas may want as a running back, but if he signs with the Hogs, there's a good chance he'll end up at linebacker out of necessity...

I don't know, everytime Oklahoma is in the mix for someone they seem to get him. It is really annoying too because we are always going for the same people. Between them and Oregon it drives me absolutely insane!
