Eaglecrazy4 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Heard a lot about this kid. Mostly from this board but other places as well. He is a running back right? Was he a big recruit? Size? Speed? Will he play in this game? Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 B1G and powerful from GA. Seems to be more of a 3rd and short back. Watch for him in a year or two. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 he will play in the first game and will run your pathetic little defense over...j/k... thats rex's job for the first quarter. Ya hes 6 1 225 and looks like an NFL back, everyones been raving about him saying he can run inside, but has enough speed to beat you to the outside. Pelini said tonight he cant imagine him getting a redshirt. Quote Link to comment
Nobody Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I look forward to watching this kid grow into a contributor. Staying late after practice to run drills while everyone else is hitting the showers... who doesn't love that? Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I like most is that his attitude and mentality is a copy off of Rex. If only every kid was like that. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 B1G and powerful from GA. Seems to be more of a 3rd and short back. Watch for him in a year or two. Maybe third and short this year with Rex still here. In the future I'm hoping for a Brandon Jacobs type! What's wrong with him muscling out 6 or 7 yards on first down! Sure makes life easier with second and shorts. Our team isn't built for 2nd and 9 or 3rd and 8. IIRC we were one of the worst teams on third and long in the nation! 1 Quote Link to comment

Staying late after practice to run drills while everyone else is hitting the showers... who doesn't love that? Sounds like a good kid. A lot of these big recruits have huge egos and don't want to put the work in and eventually fizzle out. (i.e. DeAndre Brown.) Quote Link to comment

Rex also looks like a 3rd and short back. Can't understand how NU didn't have success there last year. Quote Link to comment

(i.e. DeAndre Brown.) ya we know that one all to well (Green) Should be a good game, for our sake i would love to see some domination by our lines and put this one away early to get some time for our backups.

I'm excited for him and Abdullah next year. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Rex is one of the best 3rd and short backs ive ever seen, he never loses yards. The ball will be in Rex's hands on third and short. Quote Link to comment

T-Mart throws a pick and we run out the clock. Quote Link to comment
