COMMIT LB M.J. Sherman -> Nebraska

[1HuskerDad]

With Sherman, Gilbert and possibly Hood from the Georgia program, I am hopeful that they will help be the voice in the ear of fellow players of what it takes to reach a championship level.

That's really tough when you're competing with a bunch NFL guys in front of you.  It sounds like both he and Borders are going to be good additions to the locker room as well as the on the field.

 

I thought Stephon Wynn was solid for use last year, and that's where I'm setting my expectations for Sherman. Both were highly rated guys not breaking into the rotation at the truly elite schools for various reasons. Maybe another year removed from the knee stuff brings back some explosiveness, and maybe he is very good and was just totally blocked by incredible talents. But I'll settle for a special teams demon who is a solid defender and will be pleasantly surprised if he exceeds that.

My feeling based on what I've read (and my gut) is that he can come in and be every bit as good as Caleb Tannor was and if we're lucky, maybe better.  But I don't expect him to be a complete bust like Tyreke Johnson.

Or NPG.  But those guys can redeem themselves still.  One never knows maybe both have a incredible off-season.

It sucks when colleges see a kids potential in highschool by the plays, he makes and then when you get them on campus for whatever reason they don't see the field and the colleges were expecting them to help.  Colleges expect that highly ranked kid to produce and when they don't it definitely hurts the team.

Anybody know where Sherman is? Haven’t seen or heard from him since the spring game

He had a sack last night. Pretty quiet otherwise.

Edited…Sorry I was wrong, saw it somewhere on the twitter that he was a captain. He wasn’t.
