This is the type of WR we need to go along with JD and Wandale

Just don't tell him he could be a TE someday

Quote

The Njoku family has so far produced two FBS players, both of which ascended to the University of Miami in Cleveland Browns rookie tight end, David, and Miami freshman wide receiver, Evidence.

 

David was at one point committed to Rutgers, and began the exodus of 14 players to eventually decommit from the school's 2014 class, when not allowed by then head coach Kyle Flood to visit elsewhere while committed.

 

Yet, Rutgers recruited Evidence under new head coach Chris Ash, losing out to the Hurricanes, where his brother, David, had just completed a storied collegiate career.

 

But now there is a third Njoku on deck, and he is just as athletic and has the potential to be an even longer, more explosive athlete than them all.

 

"I'm taller than David," Charles Njoku told NJ.com. "Evidence is 6-6 now, and I'm 6-5 and still growing."

Yes but the rumor is he decommited from Mizzou partially over the fact they might move him to TE

[MyBloodIsRed16]

Maybe they can move him to OLb like Mgriff

Hmm interesting.  Yeah I was just pointing out that his dad was a TE in the NFL/comes from good genes football wise.

[Apathy]

Weird that Miami hasn’t offered him but I’m ok with that

Frost, Held and Dawson have already been in-home.  Working to get him to visit in January.

 

He said he doesn't care if he plays TE or WR.

Dawson with those Northeast connections was a big addition to this staff. It is no Florida or California but there are great players in that region as well. Really nice to have that connection on the team as some Husker greats have come from that region. 

He definitely fits the bill for the bigger bodied WR we are after. A slim to no chance we are going after him as a TE because we are full with enough bodies there.

I want this young man to play for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

He apparently is a Miami lean currently. I’m impressed how elusive he is for a tall guy. Has a quick first step and runs pretty fast. I could see him getting faster in the Corn’s conditioning program and being a one-on-one nightmare for DBs.
