MyBloodIsRed16 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 In this day and age I think they could take the Punter approach. Go a level down and find the best Tackle and see if he wants to transfer. Probably going to be a kid who is older and got the development he needed coming out of HS. 1 Quote Link to comment
Huskinator Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 8 hours ago, I am I said: Tackles are the most well paid OL in the NFL for a reason. They are hard to come by. If wethinks there is some stud in the portal sitting there ready to come in and hail us to pipeline prominence we are sadly mistaken. The best and/or ready OL players are already on their team and are ready to play for that team now. There is no one we could magically pluck from the portal that might fix our problem. Get over it. everyone jizzes over a QB, WR, RB, passrusher transfer. But I don’t see a lot of buzz over 4/5 star OL transfers anywhere in the nation, because they are rare or don’t exist. The OL needs to be grown in house. We have what we have. I hope we are healthy and have growth by fall because that could be good enough to win us some games. No OL is coming in to save us. We got our new QB transfer, WR transfer, Vok was a transfer, juco RB transfer,…there are no OL transfer guys who are plug n play. We have what we have. I really really hope no one is jizzing over these young men lol Quote Link to comment

Alabama just got this guy as a transfer yesterday ... Vanderbilt OL Tyler Steen. So, there are improvement options ... we just don't win those or see those. This guy has to beat out 4-5* OL already on the team and is expected to do so. We don't need guys like this ... we are set. :-) I'm with you, OL need to be grown in house. Unfortunately, we are just now seeing that our "greenhouse" was not set up for success enough to develop the talent we believed was good enough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I am I Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Well let’s go get those top OL targets that are just sitting in the magical portal! I mean, we NEED 3 top lineman, they must be there ready to come to Nebraska…go pick them up! Alabama did 1 Quote Link to comment

The two starters at OT probably weren't on the field during the Spring Game, but adding one more OT for depth could be helpful. 2 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I’ve said this for a little while but I still do not see us adding Jackson from A&M. Would be Stepp 2.0. 1 Quote Link to comment
UniversalMartin Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Sure it has been said (not digging through pages of stuff) but a badass OL only starts after you build a badass OL foundation. OL is the one transfer portal that does not pay as big team dividends as others...it's 5 dudes that have to be step-in-step. 2 Quote Link to comment

Consider me still doubtful. Maybe as a walk-on. I don’t think he is better than Yant, Johnson, & Grant Quote Link to comment
Pedro G Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 What do you do with him? I watched his film again. He looks like he has good initial acceleration and quickness. Probably not the top end speed of Grant and Yant. But why get another RB when the Huskers have more important needs? Quote Link to comment
