DJR313 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Anybody ever hear of this kid? He played quite a bit tonight, I had never heard of him before nor seen him on a depth chart. Kind of strange, but good for Lance getting some PT. Quote Link to comment
SkerMin8r Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I was asking the same question...where did this kid come from? You'd think we'd a heard of him...did he start? Sure seemed like he was on the field a lot. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Anybody ever hear of this kid? He played quite a bit tonight, I had never heard of him before nor seen him on a depth chart. Kind of strange, but good for Lance getting some PT. Uhh...Gesundheit? Hmm...where did he play? I'll just ask w/o looking anything up, but that's cool if we're actually seeing kids getting some reps that maybe otherwise wouldn't be getting them Quote Link to comment
SkerMin8r Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Ah...red shirt freshman from Loomis NE...Nebraska kid...gotta' love that... http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SP...p;Q_SEASON=2008 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 No not before this game. Played in the dime package. He'll prolly see some more action against Mizzou & TTech. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 He had a great game...hope he continues to play like that. He was right up there with the guys with the most tackles. Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh82 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 He had one great tackle in the open field, just knocked the sh*t out of the guy. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I love hearing about these kids because that means that Bo is practicing what he is preaching. The best kids play week in and week out no matter what. Callahan's bull$hit thinking is gone and that is nice!!!! Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Journal Star said the dime backer ahead of him was injured - don't remember the starter's name, though. Looked it up - Anthony West Quote Link to comment
Red Storm Brewing Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Was a hell of a track sprinter at Loomis. Might be mistaken but may have won the 100,200 and I am fairly for sure that he won the 400 in 49something his senior year. Small town kid that is a multi-sport athlete, wasn't that a staple for us back in the day? Quote Link to comment

Small town kid that is a multi-sport athlete, wasn't that a staple for us back in the day? Good deal, sounds kinda like Levorson from Crete. For his first game, I thought he played pretty well. The game experience will be much needed, because he will probably be called upon in the Dime package later on this season. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Seems like Loomis never has a shortage of Thorells. (7 miles from my hometown). Honors and Awards 2007 Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall Academic Honor Roll 2008 Big 12 Commissioner’s Spring Academic Honor Roll 2008 Outlook An excellent all-around athlete in high school, Lance Thorell performed well during spring practice, making the most of his repetitions at cornerback. The walk-on player from Loomis, Neb., spent time with the Huskers’ second defensive unit and enters the fall listed as a reserve behind projected starters Armando Murillo and Anthony West. Thorell is also a likely candidate to see action on the Huskers’ special teams units. 2007 (Redshirt) Thorell sat out his first season as a redshirt. Before Nebraska (Loomis HS) Thorell was a standout on both sides of the ball for Loomis High School, helping the Wolves to the Class D-1 state quarterfinals in 2006. Thorell earned first-team Class D-1 all-state honors at defensive back from the Lincoln Journal Star after totaling 118 tackles and four interceptions as a senior. He added more than 1,000 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns while also playing running back for Loomis. Thorell also excelled on the track as a member of Loomis’ Class D state champion track team. He set the state Class D record in the 110-meter hurdles on his way to a gold medal at the state track meet, as well as taking home the gold in the 300-meter hurdles. He also placed in the long jump and 400 meter dash at the 2007 state track meet. Personal Lance is the son of Mike Thorell and Kristi Thorell and he was born on Oct. 16, 1988. He has not declared a major, but was named to Big 12 Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll each of his first two semesters. I was thinking, the 1st time I'd heard of him, he was MVP of the District Basketball tournament When Loomis beat my Cousins Son's Arapaho team to go to State. Quote Link to comment
Nalow Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 What's injured with Anthony West? Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 8 man football kid from the sticks of Nebraska......gotta love it! Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I thought it was Pat Ricketts out there, but maybe I'm alone on that. This kid played alright by no means would I say he played "Great". Good for him though, but bring back West please. Quote Link to comment
