LINCOLN — Analyst Tom Lemming of CBS College Sports has evaluated quarterbacks Jamal Turner of Arlington, Texas, and Brion Carnes of Bradenton, Fla.

 

According to Lemming, their similarities suggest something about the direction of Nebraska's offensive style.

 

Turner, a junior, accepted an NU scholarship offer Thursday. Carnes is a senior who visited Nebraska a week ago and ranks the Huskers among his favorites as signing day nears this week.

 

“Both of them are probably suited much more for the spread than any other system,” Lemming said.

 

Lemming watched Carnes last year in a Florida workout. He saw Turner during a recent trip to Texas.

 

“They're very similar in talent,” Lemming said. “I like Carnes. He's the most underrated quarterback in Florida this year.”

 

Turner ranks with 6-foot-4 junior David Ash of Belton, Texas, among the top two junior quarterbacks in Texas, Lemming said. Turner, 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, owns 38 school records at Sam Houston High in Arlington. He rushed and passed for more than 2,000 yards in 10 games as a junior last fall.

 

The 6-1, 185-pound Carnes finished 186-of-305 passing for 2,697 yards and 25 touchdowns last year at Bradenton Manatee. He threw for more than 6,000 yards in starting 51 games in four seasons.
