This dude will get bullied in the run game unless he puts on some weight. Could add a little weight but perfect fit for OLB spot in Chins D. Would finally have a piece similar to what he had in Griffin at UCF. Quote Link to comment

But has a natural ability to shoot gaps and timing, coupled with great closing speed. REALLY want this kid after watching that film. Out run the block! jk but yeah some additional weight would be nice. Quote Link to comment

Give me some kids who can run and tackle over a stiff stronger guy who cannot do either of those T Farley was about 6'1 205. Probably the two most talented and instinctive linebackers I have ever seen play at Nebraska. 2 Quote Link to comment

I think they were both on the lighter side during their Nebraska playing days The speed linebacker is one of the things that took the defense to the next level in the 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan702 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 One thing I noticed about this cycle of juco players is athleticism and quick twitch ability. Maybe they aren’t every down players but this is the type of player you need for depth and special teams. I’d take a lot of these guys over Honas and anybody who can contribute in kick coverage Quote Link to comment

Iowa and Wisconsin agreed. 7 Quote Link to comment

I asked in the S&C thread - how much do we focus on flexibility with Duval? Quote Link to comment

Hopefully it starts clicking Injury and acclimation to D1 have caused slower progression than anyone would have thought or hoped for. I think he'll be one we'll be fairly comfortable with there next year. Might even be one we miss after he's gone. Ideally those young guys behind him are ready to go next year or the following year but I think Honas will be a good LB for us in his final year. I don't see Muaga fitting that role but he definitely would play a key role in this defense in a different spot. 2 Quote Link to comment
