blessed2bahusker Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Els mentioned that we are currently recruiting a few HS TEs but if they don't work out there are plenty of options right now. He specifically mentioned a player or players on the team who could or will move to TE, though he didn't mention any names. Speculation on other boards is that Pirman is at least one of those he is referring to. Here is a highlight film from Pirman's Senior year. He plays mostly a stand-up rush end or OLB role but there are numerous plays of him lined up at TE or even split out wide. He definately has the speed, atheleticism and tenacity to be a good TE. He has some good blocks at TE, mostly at the end of the clip. His route running needs to improve greatly and he needs to work on catching the ball with his hands and his blocking fundamentals need to improve but overall looks to have all the tools necessary to become a good TE for us. I for one hope that this move happens, unless he will be seeing the field at LB this year, which right now seems unlikely with the flood of talent we have gotten there the last two years.

The Dude Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sounds good to me. I agree I have not idea where he might slot in on the depth chart at LB but I could see where he could be an odd man out and would like to see us get the most out of the talent we have. Quote Link to comment
Huskerlambs Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That would work. I could also see Mike Marrow playing the Ben Cotton role and Quincy Enunwa playing the Kyler Reed role. Quote Link to comment
ObamaRocks91 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That would work. I could also see Mike Marrow playing the Ben Cotton role and Quincy Enunwa playing the Kyler Reed role. Quincy is a wide receiver and nothing else. And Mike Marrow playing TE is laughable. His hips are extremely stiff, he isn't necessarily a good blocker, I personally can't comment on his ability to catch the football, but my guess would be it's nothing great. Despite what they are listed on the athletic website (list Cotton at 255 and Marrow at 250), Marrow is plenty heavier than Cotton but is 4-5 inches shorter. Quote Link to comment

husker B-rent Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Long will be the starting te. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Long will be the starting te. And from every indication, we will be fine there. As long as we can find a second that is serviceable, watch out. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Its the 2nd one that no one really knows who is gonna be there. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Interesting. He's dating Emily Cady Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised to see Jack Gangwish, Colby Starkebaum or possibly C.J. Zimmerer change to TE either. Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised to see Jack Gangwish, Colby Starkebaum or possibly C.J. Zimmerer change to TE either. Think Gangwish is at DE now and its been mentioned he's been a handful there. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt96 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Enunwa is on the small size to be a TE. Unless he has a 3" growth spurt to go along with a 30lb weight gain I dont see it happening. Marrow has the weight but still doen't have the height. Jake Long should have the 1 spot locked down. I'm hoping that Sam Cotton was watching his brother & is ready to step into his shoes. If not hopefully David Sutton will be ready to go. If we are just throwing out crazy ideas. I will go with 6th year Sr Sean Fisher. He at least has the needed size & played RB & was the KR/PR at Millard North. Quote Link to comment
