Decoy73 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm talking true freshmen, transfers w/ a red shirt year left, or maybe a walk-on who has impressed, etc. I get that we don't know much yet, but from what we've gathered from practice reports and the media, who sounds like they're simply too good to redshirt this year? I'll start with a couple: Wan'Dale: Obvious choice Garrett Nelson: His motor and attitude must not be wasted on a redshirt IMO. I could see him becoming a special teams force this season. 1 Quote Link to comment

With the 4 game rule I think this really becomes less of an issue with players like Nelson. But I'd throw Ty Rob on the list as well, been hearing good things about him Quote Link to comment
runningblind Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Jahkeem Green Maybe Bryce Benhart now with Gaylord going down. Hearing a lot about Quinton Newsome also. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 With the 4 game rule and how many players transfer...you play them all if you can. It makes no sense to not play them. Quote Link to comment

Take it like this. Hopefully we blow some teams out so the entire roster gets a minimum of 4 games. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Wan'dale, Green, Luke Reimer, Bryce Benhart. Have heard Benhart is terribly impressive. One of the strongest, most powerful guys on the team. Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Dedrick Mills might play a bit this year Quote Link to comment

Media guys say he looks good when he only has to go forward and rush the passer, but doesn’t look good in other situations. Quote Link to comment

Better than not looking good while rushing or doing anything else like a lot of guys on the defense over the years Quote Link to comment

From the pictures out there, Green looks like a stud. Hopefully he’s not a look like Tarzan, play like Jane guy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Where did you get that I was bagging on Nelson? If Nelson is able to be a situational pass rusher as a true freshman, that will be great. NU has had a few guys like that through the years, and they ended up being great players. Quote Link to comment

You settle down dude. Where did you get the impression that I got the impression that you were baggin on Nelson. I was just stating the obvious.
