Had over 40 scholarship offers...WOW

2) Rank his importance to the Huskers 1-10 (10 the most important).

10- because we stole him from Tennessee, and because Tenn. really wanted him. SUCK IT VOLS...oh yeah he can play football pretty good too

3) Will he contribute right away? In what capacity?

Possible. Can Carricker play to his potential, unlike one Benard Thomas

Grant Wistrom, athletic, fast and strong

Challenging Trev Alberts single season sack record

Callahan says he's a "great speed rusher"

I have heard some good things about this kid, but only from one person. And only one person. Don't mistake this person for anyone else.

couch-dog

What a steal form TN. It will be nice to get some pressure on the opposing QB's this year.

1) What are your first impressions of this recruit (speed, strength, character, leadership, grades, etc)?

UNDERRATED. He's an All American by USA today, displays great footwork and is very fast. With Kennedy beefing him up, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get All Big XII one day.

2) Rank his importance to the Huskers 1-10 (10 the most important).

9. He's a huge steal.

3) Will he contribute right away? In what capacity?

I think he'll be the one freshman DE that doesn't redshirt. He'll get significant minutes.

4) Who does this player most remind you of?

Rucker.

5) Where do you see this player in 2009?

In 2008 he'll be a complete stud on the football field. He'll start once Wali's gone, I dunno if that'd be his sophomore or junior year. He'll be in the NFL.
