Assessing the talent: Big ol' offensive lineman who can punish people. Could very well continue the Nebraska pipeline tradition.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 95% He was the first instate player given an offer for 2006. In fact the first player offered overall.

Yes I heard lil Grix is actually supposed to be the best athlete in the fam. Just an all around freak of sorts. Was dunking a bball in the 8th grade.. and he aint tall. But I guess hes already quite a bit bigger than C-Grix. Heard he's starting at FB for Central this year.

Grixby is just a freshman and he is starting at cornerback and is 2nd team at iback and the guy he's behind is very very very good.

Young Grixby

Central Coach Joe McMenamin said. "We knew he had talent, but what he is doing as a freshman is pretty impressive. He is very mature and physically he is very developed as far as his strength."
Grixby is only the second freshman to start in McMenamin's 27 years at Central. Lineman Jamar Dorsey, who starts for Grambling, was the other.

Very impressive. To think of all the players. We better be extra nice to Courtney, put the good word in :thumbs

offense or defense though???

 

[BelieveN]

offense of course

hes a fricken bus man

 

[IrishAZ]

ahh...ok.

The info at the top had him listed as a defensive tackle, but I was pretty sure he was listed as an offensive tackle.

That's one big, strong, and for his size, quick dude.

He'll be a great addition if he comes. The beautiful this about it is that since he's a junior I would bet a fair amont of that 300 lbs. is still pure chub. He could likely put on another 20-40 lbs in the weight room in the next couple of years, and not lose a step (in fact, he might shave a few ticks off that 40 time).

IRISH!

Jones is the only kid from Nebraska that has made Rivals first top 100. We must at all cost keep this kid from going elsewhere. Iowa St has alos no offered him.

 

[Red November]

This kid is a must! Great Instate talent must not leave Nebraska borders

 

[Eric the Red]

He still has no leaders. Totally wide open.

Jones is a big boy. After this past weekend he is a lot closer to picking the Huskers. His parents want him to be a Husker

 

[kramer]

Jones is just a must to this class. The number one kid in Nebraska must come to the University of Nebraska

Every year. The staff got him last year (Potter) and will probably do the same this year.
