Hayseed Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Christian Gaylord....6'6-275Cole Conrad....6'5-290Dylan Utter...6'1-285Jerald Foster...6'3-310Jalin Barnett...6'4-310These are all offensive linemen who have played d-line in high school and could do it again. I'm sure there are others on the roster who could switch as well if needed, but frankly I'm tired of looking.....I've seen enough.I wonder if they're planning any switches like this?(I suppose now a roster expert will tell me some of these guys are injured or quit the team, but you get the picture.)

husker B-rent Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 We've got a couple good looking twins that redshirted this season also dontcha know? Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 We've got a couple good looking twins that redshirted this season also dontcha know? Yeah, but they're already DT's. Everyone seems to be concerned about our lack of depth on the defensive line, especially at DT. I think a couple switches could fix that. Quote Link to comment
Tomhusker64 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think the concern is at the DE position. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 DT will survive. However, we need to add some speed to the DE position. Also worth noting, Gaylord is an OT which many would argue we have even less depth at currently. Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 The stories I've read have been about the DT's, last years starters gone and other seniors leaving, but while we're on the subject here's another option for speed at DE....TE-Luke McNutt...6'2-240....All-Nebraska honors playing linebacker for Kearney High.

Hedley Lamarr Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What Srs are we losing at DT? It looks like 5 of our top 6 return with Maliek leaving early. Quote Link to comment

TE-Luke McNutt...6'2-240....All-Nebraska honors playing linebacker for Kearney High. We've got the speedy guys, they are just young. Neal, the Davis twins, and Alex Davis will be good players with the potential to be phenomenal down the road. Banker also has said King has the speed, just needs to add weight and get up to speed mentally. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 What Srs are we losing at DT? It looks like 5 of our top 6 return with Maliek leaving early.It is appearing that VV is leaving based on his recent tweets. KW has indicated that he isn't sure he will come back for year 6. His comments seemed more like he wants to not come back. That leaves Maurice, Stoltenberg who has to overcome offseason surgery, and the twins who haven't played a snap in college yet.

Apathy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We're fine on the D-Line.....our lack of depth is more of a concern on the Offensive Line Quote Link to comment

Thanks, I knew a couple reporters had articles about that. My point is that it's not time to panic, we have guys we can move around. My next point would be that the star system is biased to favor California, Texas, and Florida. To me it's more likely that our Kearney guy is a good college player than it is that one of those bigstate recruiting stars will live up to his hype. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think NU will regret not offering Merrick jackson (juco DT from IWCC). Good chance that VV and K-Will both as well so I hope the Davis twins are the real deal. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think McMullen would be a pretty good DT. If they can get some production out of the really players at DE to facilitate that, then I would think that would be a great sign for both spots.
