Mavric Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Sounds like he was also a baseball player but over the last year or so has concentrated on football and has been improving a lot. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Commonly labeled a pro-style quarterback, O'Brien has been working for more than four years with QB coaching guru Steve Calhoun, the same coach who tutored former Husker quarterback Taylor Martinez. When O'Brien first started working with Calhoun, he was splitting his time between football and baseball. The latter soon gave way completely to the former. "Once he decided, 'I’m just going to do football only and become the best quarterback I can,' that’s when he really started to take off," Calhoun said. "He started fine-tuning his delivery and we didn’t have to worry about changing him from throwing sliders and curveballs and stuff." Flowers, a former quarterback himself, said that O'Brien “had the biggest improvement arc of any quarterback I’ve been associated with.” The quarterback just started taking varsity snaps last year. Yet when he showed up at an Elite 11 camp in Los Angeles this March, surrounded by some QBs with upwards of 20 offers, O'Brien walked away with MVP honors. "That really just showed what his competitive level was right there," Calhoun said. LJS Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Did he end up making it here? Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hope we get his commitment very soon. Would be nice to lock down both these QB's and then roll out the red carpet to weapons as these guys have monster senior seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Unless he tweets something out, the recruiting sites leave them alone until the visit is over. Quote Link to comment
1HuskerDad Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Tomorrow, I believe. Yep, today through Monday evening. Leaving the RUSH concert last night, they had the big screen at Memorial Stadium lit up and highlights rolling around 11 pm. Wonder if it was specifically for O'Brien's visit? That was kind of late.
