I don't know if there's any context that would make that sort of a reaction acceptable, but it's not the first time he's been caught stomping on someone's leg; the last time he did it, he reportedly broke the kid's leg. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 That's absolute garbage. Pull the offer. Kid probably sucks anyways. 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment

He just needs to put on 40 pounds of good weight while learning to bend his knees, use his hands, sit down on blocks, chop his feet, fire off the ball, dramatically increase his quickness, and not commit crimes on the field. Much like the way Knutson overextends and reaches on his blocks, this offer was a reach from the start. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Ooof that 2nd video without any other context is a ROUGH look. I'm all for lineman having a really nasty streak but what I just saw is over the line for me personally. 1 Quote Link to comment

If this guy is having trouble with kids he is playing against in Class B Nebraska High School Football, then he won't have what it takes to compete at the high level of college football. He should have his scholly offer pulled. 6 1 Quote Link to comment
Wordek Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 After seeing more and more information about him being a repeat offender come to light, I cant help but wonder how in the world a “6-7, 270lb” OT in class B football could let kids get into his head so bad. Or, worse yet, they aren’t getting into his head and he just plays over the line nasty. Either way, as a low 3* who is a project with not much upside, he isn’t a guy we should waste a scholarship on with his baggage imo. 5 Quote Link to comment

Like @ColoradoHusk said, if he's having that much trouble with defensive linemen in that class, he's going to be a Matador in college. 3 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 From my source (lol): He's not very good, he's just bigger than the kids he's playing against. Also, his behavior does not surprise me considering the high school 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I played against Ricky Henry when he was at Burke and I'll be generous with my language and say that he was a dirty dog on the field. Henry routinely blasted guys away from the ball, hit guys after the whistle, and just generally gave the business to his high school opponents. He also was dominant from snap, used his hands incredibly well for a guy that strong, and was nearly impossible to get him off balance. At Nebraska, Henry was first team all conference and generally played within himself. Henry was a much better player than Knutson coming out of high school. But there is a solid tradition of taking overaggressive players with exceptional physical skills and harnessing that aggression on the field. Paris Johnson Jr. and Trey Smith are two very clear examples of this. Knutson has exceptional size and length but is a heavy-footed waist bender. He's not blowing guys 20 yards away from the play with good technique and athleticism like Henry, Johnson, or Smith did in high school. And with multiple ankle stomps against middling competition, I don't see how he will make our offensive line any better. But he might prove me wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scofrosghost Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The first video the kid had his ankle wrapped up and then intentionally rolled his body weight into the medial part of his lower leg/knee. Total cobra Kai move. I don’t blame him for retaliating, kid was intentionally trying to injure him. Second video isn’t a good look but the film cuts out what happened prior. My guess same type of deal. Looks like opponents are intentionally trying to injure him after he pancakes him. The fact that Rhule visited with him and took pics w his family suggests that he is giving him the benefit of the doubt as should people here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
