We needed someone to spell Daniels in 2019 and let the HS kid(s) we will sign this year RS. If he's a 1 for 1 guy it probably means: 1. We have extra schollies so why not. Depth is good. 2. Newell may actually be 1 foot out the door. Although he was just in the jersey photo shoot this week. 2-2 it is. If he's playing NT: Go get Fair and have a top 3 of Daniels, Fair, and this cat in 2019. Recruit a HS this year and let him RS. Quote Link to comment

Article I read from Bruntz said DT but maybe they're not exactly sure where he'll play yet. Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Not to be missed is the progress the Cornhuskers are now making in forging a connection with Polynesian athletes. I’m not clear on which side of the ball he will play for the Cornhuskers. Perhaps he can be our Merlin Olsen. 5 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Quote The 6-foot-3, 295-pound Vainuku has taken an unconventional route to Nebraska. He graduated from powerhouse program East High School in Salt Lake City as part of the 2012 class, before serving an LDS mission during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Vainuku grayshirted during the 2014 season, and joined Utah’s program during the 2015 season. He redshirted that season. Vainuku played in two games as a reserve offensive guard at Utah in the 2016 season, and retired because of injuries in spring of 2017. At the time of his retirement, Vainuku was set to graduate from Utah this spring. 247 Quote Link to comment

I don't think he really settled into a position. The Utes website says he played two games on offense in 2016 and those are the only games he played. He was an all-state offensive lineman two years in high school. Hopefully he can avoid the injuries that caused him to retire. Quote Link to comment

He probably knows just as much about playing center in Frost's offense as anyone on the roster. Do we have anyone left that has played center in a game for the Huskers? 2 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It seems to me that this is a project that everybody hopes ends up contributing, but let's not count on him being a major contributor till it happens. 3 Quote Link to comment
Waldo Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Almost more impressed with that fat dip. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Was expected to play defensive line coming out of high school but Utah was short on offnesive linemen so he switched for them. Best guess seems to be we're looking for him to play defense. Quote Link to comment
