husker07 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah! A great season in the state of South Dakota! You all know about the tremendous football played in South Dakota right? It clearly parallels the football played in California, Texas, and Florida. And.....? And? I think it's fairly obviously. We're actively recruiting another Micah Kriekmeyer...a 5 year bench warming wasted scholarship. That's one reason why kids attend camps and combines to see how they measure up to other kids. In this case it was the other kids that were trying to measure up to Gerry. Nathan was the MVP of the Nebraska Under Armour camp. Showed his explosiveness by hitting 10-7 in the broadjump and 33" for vertical. Explosive athlete. Runs a 10.7 100. 205 lbs & strong. That's good in any state. Those are great numbers for guys in the NFL. If Gerry were in a bigger state, regardless of how his film was, he would be a four or five star on potential alone. Link to comment
C N Red Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Seriously, no offense to Micah, but that was a token scolly offer to an instate kid when TO took over. TO was basically the guy who offered him before Bo got here. It was kind of a 'lets start the healing with instate coaches and players' so we could get the walkon program started again. Gerry will play, and if he is smart along with his athletic ability i would be surprised if he doesnt start. See Cassidy and O'hanlon. Link to comment

Not to start a tissy, but comparing him to two walk on guys, especialy Cassidy, is an insult to Gerry. He is leagues ahead of them athletically, especially Cassidy, along with having more size. I know football is much more than being a good athlete, but I feel people are failing to comprehend that Gerry is the best pure athlete in this class, if not in the entire country. Link to comment

He is an impressive athlete. I would not however even come close to calling him the best athlete in the entire country though. Goodness Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm excited to see this kid hit the field. Are we recruiting him as a Safety or LB? Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 By his film and his dominance in other sports,one can see he is a good/great athlete. As soon as he gets used to the speed of the game and understands the SS job he should be a great one. I can't wait to see him in a few years. Link to comment
HuskerHacker Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 with his speed vs size... wow, dude could be a ferocious hitter. Scary Sick Size!!! Link to comment
ADS Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Dobson needs to get his weight up around 215, and keep his speed. At 6'2" and 215 he could be another Eric Hagg type of defender. Link to comment
IllinoisHuskerFan Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think 2-3 years from now Nathan Gerry could be the steal of the class. I think he has all physical attributes to play strong safety and I think he could be a beast coming up to help stop the run. Wouldnt suprise me one bit if he is a 2-3 year starter. Link to comment
HuskerZag Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Sorry for the bump, but he posted his 2012 highlight video tonight from his Twitter account. 1 Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 @ Falco, +1 I'll add it to the 1st post as well. Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The video definately shows how much speed he has. Even though he played in the largest class in SD, there will be a considerable difference when he starts playing against Div 1 players. I think he'll find his way to a starting spot eventually and make a very good SS for the Huskers. Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Diamond formation! Looks like he closes well and finishes. Probably not too many highlights where a WR blocks his guy for 10 yards then plants him but that was nice. Link to comment
NU jumper alum Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 wondering if we will give him a look at cornerback. great size and very good speed. We already have one 4* safety on board and if we whiff on our other CB recruits, might be worth a shot. Link to comment
