chamrocck Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Player: Chase Rome Hometown: Columbia, MO Position: DE/DT Height: 6'3" Weight: 275 lbs. 40 time: 4.7 Visit Date: Scholarships offered: Nebraska, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Wisconsin, Iowa, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee Favorites: Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Big Red Report: Assessing the talent: Per ESPN, "Rome plays defensive end in high school, but with his current build it is hard to imagine he will not grow into more of a defensive tackle's build and that is not really a bad thing. He is a tough player versus the run and you can envision him having success inside. He has a solid get-off. He is very good at playing with his hands and consistently will bring them when coming off the ball. He can engage and separate from a blocker. He plays with good pad level and can take on a blocker and hold his ground. At the end position he does a good job of feeling blocks and staying square and squeezing down. He is not a kid that will fly up-field and be a menacing presence, but he will be in position. Moves well laterally to play along the line of scrimmage. Displays solid straight line speed for his size. Does a good job of being able to shed from the blocker and is a solid tackler. He has a good motor and stays active and plays until the whistle...more here http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/t...amp;season=2010 Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 20% We should have a good shot at this kid. I think the presence of Bo and our need at D-Line should make us attractive. Link to comment
redout22 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 He has a pretty nice offer list. Scout says he was pretty surprised to get the offer Also #176 on rivals 250 Link to comment
griswold Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 My guess he will end up back in Florida as a gator. Family moved from Florida to Columbia when he was in the 8th grade. Link to comment
Huskers Forever Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Wow, if Missouri can't keep this kid, that would be really bad. I think the only time we ever lost a Lincoln kid, is when that Southeast kid went to Notra Dame a while back. Link to comment
Husker_Power Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 committed to Oklahoma State. Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Player: Chase Rome Hometown: Columbia, MO Wow, if Missouri can't keep this kid, that would be really bad. committed to Oklahoma State. Wow, wonder what happened there. It's not like he picked Florida or ND over Mizzou. Link to comment
papio2chi Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wow...a surprise get for Okie State...he seemed like a huge Florida lean. I guess this is why we go after all the good ones....you just never know. Link to comment

Wow, wonder what happened there. It's not like he picked Florida or ND over Mizzou. All along Chase Rome has said Florida Gators was his favorite team. Chase moved to Columbia from Florida as an 8th graded. Not sure what happened on his visit to Florida but he left there and visited South Carolina. What was surprising was he enjoyed his visit and they thought they had a good shot at him, but then after getting back from South Carolina he committed to Oklahoma State. His father has been longtime friends with OSU associate Head Coach Joe Deforest. MU was never really a choice the kid didn’t want to stay in state. Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I heard Chase was in Lincoln on Friday this week. Can anyone confirm this? I would love to steal this kid if he opens up his recruiting again. Total stud with a high motor. His father got him involved in MMA fighting and training. He also went to the Kansas camp on Saturday. Link to comment
