84HuskerLaw Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 A 2019 4 star recruit that redshirted. Had several notable offers besides PSU. Nice size. Dont recall that we recruited him though. Quote Link to comment

I know that can change in an instant, but I doubt Frost will pursue him. Quote Link to comment

Might be a CB or Safety prospect as well as presumably a fine athlete. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's not a bad idea from a coach's point of view, but kids (especially QB's) don't enter the transfer portal to switch positions at their new school. Quote Link to comment

Agree but the kid is apparently 4th string at PSU as a 4 star and is looking. If he doesnt prove himself as a viable QB at NU he can reassess at that point. I am not suggesting either way. Just commenting on an available 4 star QB that is eligible, available, etc and may be a fine prospect. Some players do in fact look at changing positions later. Tony Veland is a great example. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think he would've switched if he had transferred though - I can't think of an example of a QB transferring, then seitching. If you're going to switch, might as well do it at your initial school with the staff you know and keep the year of eligibility. 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess I didnt know he loses a year if he transfers with a release. idk the rules on that. Quote Link to comment

Tony Veland is a great example of a position change working out for the player, but he also suffered a major injury before the move, and by the time he came back Tommie Frazier had the QB job firmly in his grasp. One other thing, it was over 25 years ago. The mindset for the players (especially QBs) is completely different now. I am not saying it's better or worse now, it's just the way things are. They are going to want to find a school where they can be a QB. They've trained their whole lives to be a QB, they don't want to move to a different position unless it's the last resort.

84HuskerLaw Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I understand this. Hope he makes a big splash wherever he lands. I just hope great athletes also recognize that sometimes opportunities are right in front of you if you keep your mind open. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Any record of outstanding defensive players who don't like their current scheme, coaches, position, or culture who enter the portal looking for a chance to star on a struggling defense? Asking for a friend. Quote Link to comment

Dont recall that we recruited him though. They did, but his interest was lukewarm or partially interested at best. He made a mistake picking PSU when they already had a QB committed nearly a year ahead of his decision. I do think his ceiling is better at receiver though. Happy with McCaffery.

84HuskerLaw Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I understand how the kids get excited when all the recruiting hype / attention happens. Too many “experts” say too many good things and kids start believing it all. Then they get to school and reality hits em. Its a big jump and all the players are darn good. Probably a rude shock. Some may not want to accept that it wont be easy nor quick. Easy to transfer and prove everybody else was right instead of the coach. Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I would gladly take this guy, but not sure how much of a chance we have. If we do not land him he might head to Baylor if they have a spot. Quote Link to comment
