FearAmeer Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 So does this mean we are likely out on getting Ajay Allen or Trevonte Citizen? We already have 7 scholarship RB's on roster counting Jackson and I don't see us picking up an 8th. I also don't see Ervin, Rahmir, or Yant transferring. Stepp is a maybe but I don't think he has his graduate transfer available so I don't think he will. 1 Quote Link to comment

Count me skeptical that Jackson ends up here & that somebody doesn’t leave before then on the roster. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 5-11 — 200 LBs is a nice size tail back but a bit under a power back really. He’s developed so not going to want to add much weight imo. Maybe a general purpose type. Seems like another RB that blends in with the group - not standing out in any particular way. But we need a guy who can stay out there in most any down and distance situations (block, run and catch). Quote Link to comment

HuskermanMike Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I believe he has two years left. 2018- played at FSU 2019- Redshirted 2020- Didn't count 2021- Second year That leaves two years left for him. I believe we got him to not overload our numbers with our underclassman. Nice get! I believe it will be Johnson, Ervin, Grant, and some Yant as our RB rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment

He said he has two years of eligibility so this would seem to be correct. Quote Link to comment

Citizen wasn't coming here anyway, and Allen is still holding out hope for an LSU offer. Quote Link to comment
Cobra Kai Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 His tape in juco is phenomenal. Good vision, good burst, good top end speed. Good hands out of the backfield. Granted, the holes were mostly ginormous...but the guy clearly has skills. If we don't ruin him, he could be a friggin steal. Quote Link to comment

I guess I find myself not being too excited. We've gotten top JUCO players at certain positions before that come in and don't do anything. Hope he's different. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mills was good enough, just couldn't stay healthy. RBs typically have the easiest transition from one league to the next. I'm just hoping our new rb coach gets that room in order. I like the signing. But like you said...could be a bust. I am gonna buy low with Grant. Very little risk, high reward. Quote Link to comment
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Thats the thing - on most of these highlight reels, the backs have huge holes to run through. They won't have that here. Quote Link to comment

It's OK that you do that, it's just not for me. We screwed up bell. Mills got dinged a bunch...two different stories. Grant has a chance to provide immediate help at a position of need. I'm happy he's coming here & can't wait to see what he brings to the room. Quote Link to comment
