Truly a man amongst boys in the athletic sense.  Hopefully, he finds success at the next level when most of the players on the field are on his level athletically.  I'd assume that given his ratings, he does quite well against more apples to apples types of competition.

This is why the elite basketball players go to these academies.  I don't know that I've ever even seen a disparity like this in youth sports.

As long as he stays healthy and puts on weight I think he could play next year.  I think Fidone has the te spot locked down but he still hasn't looked like he has gained all of his explosiveness back from his knee injury.

Without enrolling early and accounting for far greater talent level & 11 man football I think unless he has a few designed plays he may not play much.

You don't think he could play 4 games and then redshirt? Just to give him some experience???

That's a good definition of "not playing much".

In a first for me I have to go with @Huskerfollower4life.  I think he plays.

 

Didn't we already have two TEs enter the portal?  He's a freak athlete.  The talent difference will be significant but he'll adapt and I think it'll be quick.

It's possible, but I don't think he's ready as a Big Ten TE - he's like 200 lbs. The TEs in the portal were not even on the depth chart, although it is pretty thin either way. Lindenmeyer has a specific role (and I'd assume Flynt in this class is penciled in there as well), and everyone else we've signed recently needs to add some weight. I think if Nelson plays it will either be out wide, or exclusively as a second TE off the LOS. Or maybe he packs on some weight over the summer and shows up at 230, but I think it'll take a year or two.

We’re talking about different things.  
 

I doubt he’s a major contributor, but he’ll play.  The only common factors between him and Flynt are the position they play.

Thanks !!!! I think he instantly shoots up to the number 2 spot on the depth chart with his talent.  Yes it will take time to add weight but I think he could easily put on 20 pounds and be a receiving threat.  Adds to more weapons that Raiola can throw to bc certainly he is quick enough.

Rhule said they consider him a positionless player and they expect him to play WR, TE, and RB. So he's Satterfield's new Jaheim Bell I guess.
