Ohio Pete Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Player: Daytawion Lowe Hometown: Oklahoma City, OK Position: S Height: 5'11.5" Weight: 182 lbs. 40 time: 4.47 Visit Date: 9/26 Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, Stanford Favorites: Oklahoma State Rankings/Stars: Rivals: :star :star #15 S Big Red Report: :star :star 5.8 #17 S ESPN: 79 #26 S Assessing the talent: (ESPN) Lowe has the size, speed and toughness to excel as a college safety. He has a tall, lanky build. He's very aggressive and can provide good run support working from inside-out or outside-in. Avoids would-be blockers, fighting and scratching his way to the ball. Maintains good leverage on the ball against the outside run, flare pass and sprint out. He isn't afraid to deliver a blow, but sometimes drops his head and ankle tackles. Needs to take the extra step to become a more physical and reliable tackler. Plays well in the open field and has good instincts. Shows good timing when breaking on passes for interceptions and breakups. Fights receivers for jump balls and has shown playmaking ability after the pick. Could play deep-half coverage because of his instincts and football skills. Has excellent field awareness and rarely is out of position. He frequently is the first man downfield when covering kickoffs. Uses the sideline and shows intelligence on special teams. Lowe is a versatile athlete and a fiesty competitor--a player any coach would want on his team. He'll need to put in more time in the weight room, but that makes him no different than many excellent prospects coming out of high school. Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 10%. Oklahoma State is listed as leader. Quote Link to comment
SODAKSKERSFAN20 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I was thinking we didn't have one for Lowe yet. The question I had for him was if he was pretty solid on Oklahoma State or do we have a shot? Quote Link to comment
gmoney88 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I was thinking we didn't have one for Lowe yet. The question I had for him was if he was pretty solid on Oklahoma State or do we have a shot? He seemed to really enjoy his visit here a couple of weeks ago....and with the HI teasers saying he is close to a decision, maybe we do have a legitimate shot. Quote Link to comment

HuskerKing130 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 If he's announcing at his school, I guarantee he doesnt pick Nebraska Quote Link to comment

huskers13 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Okie State has been his leader from the beginning and it helps that they are playing really good football this year. I would be very surprised if he chose Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 If he's announcing at his school, I guarantee he doesnt pick Nebraska Why? I don't see a high profile recruit from Oklahoma picking Nebraska if hes making the announcement at his school Quote Link to comment

I would be very surprised if he chose Nebraska. I wonder if their financial problems is hurting their recruiting? Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 T Boone was on tv saying there was plenty of money to finish there plans.Talked about another donation. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'd imagine OSU looking like a team turning a corner is helping to open wallets a bit. Quote Link to comment
Red Storm Brewing Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'd love to see this kid in the scarlet and cream, but one would be crazy to expect anything more than Daytawion in Pokie gear on Thursday. Honestly, it is a better situation right now. It's his home state school, a favorite from the get go, they have an A-Rod sized contract funland being built as we speak, they will be a factor in the Big XII for a while with all their studs pretty much sophomores, and they will have a chance for quicker playing time with the JUCO heavy roster especially in the secondary. Like I said, I'd take him in a heartbeat, but me thinks it ain't happening. Quote Link to comment

Red Storm Brewing Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Announced during the Texas game in an interview that he is putting up 63 mil into the project and will make up differences with the project costs and the temporary loss of funds with further gifts and funds and all his filthy rich ass money. The funland will be built, this guy wants to see at least a conference championship before he croaks. Of course than hwo knows how much the Pokies would get. Quote Link to comment
