2024 Spring Practice Notes - Defensive Backs

[Decked]

I thought Harzog was the starting slot db?

He is playing safety this spring 

 

[SouthLincoln Husker]

I have.  He looked ok but nothing spectacular.

He is 6' 3", fast & athletic.  Went FCS route because he was 165 out of HS.   He has gain 20 to 25 lbs.  Plus, his dad was an nfl lb.

I know your talking about Tommi Hill but Blye Hill as well??  Blye Hill just transferred in so you would think he still needs to learn the defense.

He may Still need to learn the defense but if he can Cover and tackle better then the others the Learning defense calls will come.  Give me a 6'3 Corner who can cover all day long.

Has anyone heard what is the exact injury he sustained?

 

[Stumpy1]

Dislocated knee from the sounds of it.  Will be back in 6-8 weeks.

Would put him back in July. Presuming he wouldn’t be ready before august in rehab/getting up to speed.

6 weeks is June 8th, 8 weeks is the 22nd. I'd say there's a good chance of a before August return.

I’m presuming he would be held out longer and not rushed back. And would need a few weeks if not a month of S&C. July is probably too soon if anything

Normally those timeframes for return from injury include all of that and is predicting the date an athlete is “cleared to return” fully.

Hartzog felt like a liability near the redzone.  Not because of talent, but because teams could pick on him at 5'8.  Also deep one-on-one matchups.  If Hartzog was 6feet I'd feel better. 

I think Matt Millen said he was really short when he stood next to him, and looked 2-3 inches shorter than the listed 5'10. 

But, I think Hartzog is talented and does pretty good cleaning up on tackling.  Might be more suited for FCS
