So? The other team played their freshman team when he was in. And that includes two girls. They suck.

Plus it's just Kansas football. Trash.

:ahhhhhhhh

[Warrior10]

Senior highlight tape.

 

[Warrior10]

My thoughts:

-Was playing pretty weak competition

-His first step is GREAT

-Very powerful young man

-Quick

-Will benefit greatly from a RS year

Man among boys. Don't Care what level u play at you that is pure domination. His tape reminds me a lot of crick. Big body guy with a high motor that can track down plays. Will be a very good d tackle once he learns to use leverage and his hands better.

I agree, working on using his hands is his biggest need. At that level he just ran through people with his shoulder....won't work at next level.

Not getting as much love as some of the new commits.........but I love this guy

[Husker from Kansas]

This guy will end up doing well before his time at Nebraska is up. He is pretty dang athletic for a kid his size, and once he has a redshirt year under his belt, he will be acclimated to playing against D1 caliber competition. He seems to have all the tools necessary and a great work ethic to go with it. I'm excited to see what this kid will do in the future

That's what impresses me the most. Yeah, he's playing against lesser competition. But he's basically playing outside linebacker in high school and projecting as a defensive tackle for us. You don't see that every day.

Much more impressed by his senior film. The competition was always a concern, but I'm seeing great initial burst and power that I didn't see before. Still have some concerns with Newell, but he certainly is very intriguing.

33" vertical...damn

[blarson3]

Like him at DT a lot. Looks ridiculous at TE haha

[Ziebol]

Love this guy and his passion for wanting to play here. Only problems I see that noticeably stand out is he tends to stand straight up on plays and relying on his size advantage. He needs to be coached to not do that or olinemen will have him on his heels. Other wise excited for this kid in the future.

Gaining leverage against big strong boys is going to be a challenge for him. It can be taught to an extent, but certain guys are much better at knee bending and creating a good base than others. Newell almost appears a bit stiff and plays very upright. That is what concerns me. Even at the D1 level though, some guys can dominate based off strength and athleticism alone (see Vernon Gholston). Newell is a freak.

33" vertical...damn

That is some explosive power for a man that size.
