nebraskafaninwi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hes currently a target. Teammate of Randy Gregory. May be our best bet left. Thank you for posting that. Looks like he could be a decent run stopper. Large frame, eats up a lot of space, somewhat explosive, and plays with good pad level on most plays. We could use a large bodied guy like him to help stuff the inside runs. Have we offered yet? Film Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rated a 2 star out of high school by Rivals. After watching his film, I would really like him to be offered, assuming Bradley doesn't announce N today. He's a big guy that keeps a low pad level, he's violent with his hands, and holds up blocks well and then sheds them so he can make the tackle. I like what I see. Quote Link to comment
nebraskafaninwi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Talked to one of my friends in Arkansas and he said they were trying to recruit him but they were not able to get him to attend because of some academic reason - some type of math requirement. They talked about that back in Sept. so I don't know if that would be anything to look at. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hasn't been offered yet, but Id take him before Campbell. Quote Link to comment
ndobney Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Benches 250 he would need a year or more in or weight lifting program to even see the field Quote Link to comment

HuskerShark Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Benches 250 he would need a year or more in or weight lifting program to even see the field It's great when you see guys bench 400 pounds, but it's an overrated stat as far as I'm concerned. I'd be more interested in his squat and hang clean than bench. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Theres usually a reason we arent on a certain recruit, not saying this is the reason for him, i have no idea, im just speaking generally about bench here. If 250 is true its pretty pathetic. Bench is a good measure of upper body strength, being able to keep blockers off your body to shed blocks, or push the blocker back (along with lower body of course) Guys who are strong should be able to double their weight in bench, obviously the more you weigh the harder that is to accomplish, if you weight 300 its darn near impossible. Just saying weighing 300 if you cant do around 4 then your very weak, 250 is a very alarming number, basically means you can barely do a few pushups at that weight, as you cant even lift how much you weight. But im sure thats an old number for him Quote Link to comment
huskergeorge990 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Stats from his JUCO page: Ht:6'4" Wt:305 lbs 40:4.9 secs Bench Max:325 http://rivals.yahoo.com/newmexico/football/recruiting/player-Jordan-Turner-133921/print Quote Link to comment
Stickney Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh, I think weight max's can be kinda misleading. For example take a short armed guy and compare him to a long armed guy on the bench. Long armed guys have a much tougher time, but when it comes to blocking/defending, long arms are big bonus. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'd take this one and hopefully we offer. Quote Link to comment

Right after he dominated the nation for Alabama. Bench is an indication of strength but it isn't everything. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Regardless of how much he benches, his highlight film looked really good and I hope we offer him. Quote Link to comment

Long armed guys have a much tougher time, but when it comes to blocking/defending, long arms are big bonus. ya they can be misleading alright, but when a 280 pound kid cant bench his own weight, there is nothing misleading about that. Disclaimer...generally speaking...i have no clue, nor do i really care what this kid benches, just generally stating facts. As i said above they are probably HS numbers and he might not have even lifted in HS. I remember the coaches saying they are surprised at the number of kids that come in that have never really lifted weights. Quote Link to comment
