MLB 51 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Welcome aboard. Great pick up IMO. Link to comment
nebraskafaninwi Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What were his stats, did he just not make a lot of plays? Did he get owned in a couple of games? Cause he looks as good on film as any of our players, and I can't understand why he is rated higher!?#% He has a lot of the attributes of all the highly touted DT's. We might have found ourselves a diamond in the rough. 102 total tackles, 43 TFL, 15 sacks, 5 FF, 3 FR. His total tackles are linebacker numbers. The sacks is a DE type of number. He was considered a sleeper surprise at the Missouri camp over last summer. They said out of all of the attendees at the camps he was one of the most impressive. Link to comment

HuskerShark Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I really LOVE this commitment! I could see him being a really good player for us. Plays with great pad level and a lot of intensity. Seems to tackle guys in the backfield in a Suh-like manner, which I can never get enough of. Welcome, Maliek! Link to comment

blessed2bahusker Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 You can really see that wrestling leverage in his highlights. My official favorite recruit of '13. My favorite last year was Afalava. We are going to have a nasty D in the years to come. Welcome Mr. Collins. We are proud to have you! Link to comment
blessed2bahusker Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 New article by BC in the LJS. Collins said he knows there are plenty of things to work on in regard to his game — defeating cutback blocks, footwork, “technique things." But he’s eager to improve. “I’m going to work hard at it. I've got to work hard at it, because now I’ve made a commitment to the team,” he said. “To me, that means I’m going to do my best for the team. No matter what my situation is, I feel like I have to lay it all on the line for the team just like I did in high school.” http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/recruiting/2013-football-recruits/huskers-snag-second-dt-of-the-weekend/article_2a9b891d-4cb3-57c8-a938-3062e2c2b957.html Man that is music to my ears. Article also mentions his mother crying when he committed. It is good having Mom on our side for a change. I love this kid. GBR! Link to comment
nebraskafaninwi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 We got a potential great one from Missouri. We really did. He only attended two camps over the summer and was offered a scholarship on the spot after running the 40 yard dash at 4.83 seconds at 280 pounds. If he would have attended more camps he would have a ton more offers and would be an obvious 4-star rated player. 1 Link to comment
ADS Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Along with Florida, I'm excited to see us pull kids from Missouri again. That's a state we should dominate every year, there is no excuse for kids that live on 2-3 hours away can't come here. I know Mizzou is in the SEC now, but they are still a low level program compared to us. Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Agreed aspeedlin. In addition, our Huskers seem to recruit the Kansas City market the best. I think we should do a better job of recruiting the St. Louis market. Mizzou trumps us there and if you follow recruiting from that area you will Illinois and Notre Dame snag players from that market. With it's distance from us and those two schools in play, along with Mizzou ... I think we would bode well in a head to head in a lot of cases. Link to comment
