"Nebraska, I mean, I was overjoyed to get their offer. I've been looking at Nebraska since I was a freshman because they produce No. 1 NFL draft picks on the defensive line. And here they go and offer me. It was great news. I was overjoyed."

I like this guy. Very physical, quick first step

Looks like the speed and movement for a LB at the next level ... or atleast ... that's what I would perceive Pelini's staff would see him at.

At 230, he's either gonna be a huge project to get him to gain weight, or he will be a LB. It will be interesting to see what Bo wants to do with him if he comes here.

He is being recruited as a hybrid LB/DE position. A stand up rush end.

Will he make it this weekend?!? We just need to get this guy on campus and show him first hand the pride of the blackshirts!!

GBR!

Down to Arkansas, NU and Oklahoma State. Liked his visit.

JP told him he has to work hard and a lot will be demanded of him. He said he respects that. Visits OSU next weekend.

Out of those three, I think it's pretty clear who has the best defensive coaches. We'll see how important that is to him, though.

From the vibe of the article, I like our chances. I love that our coaches give em the no b.s. approach. We don't give you anything. You earn it.

As long he has some speed and athleticism I don't care!
