Warrior10 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Josh Harvey @JoshHarveyFOX26m Some rankings adjustments, Freedom Akinmoladun now the nation's No. 44 TE in the country http://nebraska.scout.com/a.z?s=204&p=8&c=1&nid=6902616 … #Huskers #Nebraska Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just curious... for those of you who are football experts or coaches. Why exactly would he not predict well at DE/TE at the next level? He has the size/speed on paper to be perfect at that position if you ask me and he has played it in high school. I just don't get why we wouldn't want him for DE if that's his favorite position. And why exactly are people saying he will be an OT or DT at the next level when he is only 238 right now? I watched the film and he does look to be a great blocker... pancaked some dudes...Is that what screams OL? Link to comment
EZ-E Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He's got the frame to add a ton of weight to. He truly is a monstrous physical specimen. Link to comment

I have no clue if that is the case for him but it is just something I have seen a lot of. Link to comment

I have no clue if that is the case for him but it is just something I have seen a lot of. I gotcha. And thanks EZ. I watched his film again and I thought his best skills were his blocking when he was lined up at tight end next to the O-Line. And if he does truly have a frame that could support a lot more good weight then I can see him at OL. He didn't look all that fast or smooth running his routes at TE and he didn't seem that quick at DE either. Link to comment

FrankWheeler Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 With this class being low on the defensive linemen, any chance Freedom starts out at d-end? Link to comment
Blood Eagle Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think it depends on if we get Bronson or Tubman Link to comment
C N Red Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 With this class being low on the defensive linemen, any chance Freedom starts out at d-end? Yes, i actually think its more likely he starts out there than TE no matter who commits imo. Link to comment
