Spartness Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Didn't we have a Carl Johnson who played offensive tackle on our 1971 NC team? Any relations? Quote Link to comment
kramer Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Randy Jordan is recruiting him. He is a hot commodity. He is one of 5 or 6 offensive lineman ranked in Rivals initial top 100. Johnson says he's going to take a close look at NU. He loves the tradintion and the coaching staff because of their pro experience. Quote Link to comment
Red November Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Didn't we have a Carl Johnson who played offensive tackle on our 1971 NC team? Any relations? Can think of that off hand. This out of all the lineman we are recruiting is what we neeed. We have some JUCO's but we need some young talent to look forward to . This kid is going to be very difficult to get. To pul him out of the East in North Carolina Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 There is a very good chance Carl will be visitng Nebraska whether on an official or not. This is very good news. Quote Link to comment
Red November Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 This one seems to be the biggest surprise out of the top 27 rivals put together. Huskers have a shot here. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 This guy is a sick athlete. I saw film of him and it is kind of rediculus. He is like ten times the size of everyone else out there, but he is quicker than anyone else on the line. We could really use this guy, and I think he could step in and help out right away.

BigWillie Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Oscar Meyer strikes again and reels in probably the top OL prospect in the country. Carl Johnson, ye be a Gator. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 Oscar Meyer strikes again and reels in probably the top OL prospect in the country. Carl Johnson, ye be a Gator. I just don't think this one is going to be firm, I believe he will visit other schools. Quote Link to comment
GoBigEd Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Word on the street is that Carl Johnson was in the stands last night with Josh Freeman. Carl is the 5 star recruit recently committed to Florida. Apparently he paid his own way. Anyone else have any info? Quote Link to comment
kgraham7 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Carl Johnson was definately at the game, which was surprising since it wasn't an official visit. I don't know if he is interested or not, but i can't think of any other reason to visit. Quote Link to comment
Wharf Rat Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 After he saw the abysmal performance of our OL last night I would hope the thought that he could come in and be starting the first game next year would cross his mind and appeal to him. OL would have to be the #1 priority of this class IMHO and landing Johnson would be an enormous boost. Let's hope he liked what he saw here. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 He was there. There was a clip on it in this morning's OWH. He was wearing a Clemson jersey. Quote Link to comment

Spartness Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Nameless or Eric: What's the latest on him? Is he a soft commitment -- his unexpected visit to Lincoln -- and is still considering the Huskers? Quote Link to comment
