utahN husker Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Scout is saying that we offered and TE David Sutton has accepted. Sutton is 6-3, 235 from Lincoln. Anyone know anything else? Link to comment
papio2chi Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Rivals says we offered him as a grey shirt unless another scholarship opens up. Link to comment
The Mustache Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Correct, he will be a greyshirt. http://www.omaha.com/article/20110130/BIGRED/110139974/-1#lse-s-sutton-to-grayshirt-at-nu Bummed we didn't get Vick though, seen him play, dude is an animal. Damn Frank Solich and his farming of Nebraska's talent that isn't quite good enough for scholarships but have potenital!! Link to comment

Damn Frank Solich and his farming of Nebraska's talent that isn't quite good enough for scholarships but have potenital!! He grabs one or two a year. Dietz last year, Davis/Lechner the year before. Probably too good to walk on, but might have it Frank hadn't been there waving that scholly in their face. Link to comment
Danimal Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 TE was a big need in this class, glad they got somebody anyway. I've read this kid had a great senior season. Link to comment
macroboy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 So am I understanding he is part of the class and not going to grey shirt? Link to comment
MinnwiscowaSker Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 huskers.com says he is a "scholarship signee" Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sounds like the end-of-season recruiting lull saw us end up with not enough spots, and we threw an offer at an in-state kid to stock up the numbers. It is better than a greyshirt, though, I suppose, as that would count towards next year. Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 That reminds me: how is Micah Kreikemeier doing? Link to comment
Nexus Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Welcome to the Big Red family, Mr. Sutton. Link to comment

MinnwiscowaSker Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 He said in this article that he'll be joining next January. I guess it really doesn't matter too much either way if he counts against this class or next year's. Link to comment
NUance Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looks like a good athlete. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at DE eventually. Link to comment
Danimal Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Looks like a good athlete. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at DE eventually. Considering our intense need at TE(nobody behind Reed and Cotton but a few walk-ons and a bust in Kerr that is behind said walk-ons) I think he'll be a TE. Link to comment
