paperstreet Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Tremendous quote. As Nebraska fans, we always say we want guys who WANT to be Huskers. That quote, along with his quick jump on the offer, proves he is one of those guys. GBR 2 Quote Link to comment

huKSer Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Height: 511 511 what? 511 feet? 511 inches? 511 cm? 511 cubits? Quote Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Interesting. Watching his film I would not have guessed he weighed that much. He likes to make people miss. Doesn't finish runs or break as many tackles as I'd expect from a "big" back. Yep. I was thinking the same thing. Good lateral speed but I kept waiting for him to thump someone. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Normally stealing a guy from isu wouldn't have me excited. But with out new staff and the head this kid seems to have on his shoulders has me pumped. Im sure they pushed th Steven Jackson angle 1 Quote Link to comment

onlyHskrfaninIL Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 He actually doesnt look too bad. His first couple steps arent bad for his size. Hes got some elusiveness. He clearly does lack that top gear that makes guys elite but he should be solid. And it sounds like he wants to be here. Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Edit - I think he will be a beast Quote Link to comment

Good lateral speed but I kept waiting for him to thump someone.I must be watching a different set of highlights. The first play he hammered a guy, followed by many plays where he broke through tackles or required more than one guy to bring him down. He used that quick (or relatively quick) lateral step to make some guys miss, but there was plenty of contact on film. Definitely not a burner but catches the ball of out the backfield well.

Thanks_Tom RR Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Josh Harvey @JoshHarveyScout 6m6 minutes ago A quote from new #Huskers RB Devin Ozigbo. @NebraskaOnScout @BigRedBryan If this is the prototypical guy they want for RB in Riley's offense, I think we are all going to have to adjust our eyes from expecting an elusive, scatback/all purpose back with top-end speed to a NFL type, run between the tackles, catching balls out of the backfield, and pass blocking. 2 Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Definitely different from the first round of RB offers, but I trust Riley knows the type of RB that will fit his system. Welcome, Ozigbo! Quote Link to comment

I could live with that. Tom, if he's in a different mold from the other RB offers Riley has made, do you think maybe they'll take another in this class? Or unlikely, given the position?

I read on another site that he wanted Nebraska to commit to him being the RB taken in the class, but that could just be a myth so take it for what it's worth Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Comparable to Cross or more speed than that? Quote Link to comment
