When we walked into the stadium, they were screaming our names saying 'we want you to be a Husker'. It was amazing. The facilities are great. Everything is top-notch. Like the weight room is crazy. Everything there is top of the line.? Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 mendoza's highlights Holy crap he's fast Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 This kid has blinding speed! However the highlight doesn't show much of him hitting any holes up the middle. Everyone is fast at the D1 level. I wonder how he does hitting the 1 or 3 gap with athority? Looks to have great hands though. He would be a good catch for Neb. A little coaching and developement and he has the potential to be very good. Quote Link to comment

hootin' annie's goatfarm Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Visit Date:September 29, 2006 hello, according to scout he gave it a 10, also: http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=204&p=2&a...2%2f574633.html p.s. he camped at ok st, & has visited tx tech & NU - they are basically his top 3, so we shall see, but he will not choice a school until he sees all of his top 5 - therefore, he has yet to set official visits to tcu, ks st, & ok st Quote Link to comment

ttheKid1*18 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Nice. He's a little small, but so was Barry Sanders. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 He will be here for the spring semester. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 On the radio they were talking that they could move this kid to cornerback. They also says he has good "football" speed, and that the 4.4 doesn't lie Quote Link to comment
OKCHusker Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 this kid is QUICK! If you havent had a chance to see his highlight reels...i suggest. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Welcome to the team Marcus. Maybe the coaches want him as a return specialist. At 5'9, he seems a little short to play corner but if he can jump and run and if he has a knack for the football then I wouldn't oppose to him playing db. Quote Link to comment
Redman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 On the radio they were talking that they could move this kid to cornerback. They also says he has good "football" speed, and that the 4.4 doesn't lie I hope he is not moved to cornerback. Grixby is fast, but his size has always been a problem. At 5'8", he just will not match up to most receivers. Quote Link to comment
