Insiders: NR/*

Assessing the talent: He really isn’t getting notice by many colleges. Most likely because of his size. Besides Oklahoma St., no other major football school has shown interest. Last year, Britton amassed 2,172 yards rushing, averaging almost 9 yards per carry and over 220 yards per game.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 5% He has really narrowed down his selections to Nebraska, Texas Tech and UTEP. Nebraska is recruiting him the hardest. Apparently his entire family will be traveling with him to his visit to Lincoln. He doesn’t believe he will commit on his visit, but who knows. I can’t imagine TTech having something NU doesn’t. Although I have to wonder if one of these other “highly touted” backs commits, Britton goes elsewhere.

Rivals/Huskers Illustrated had a chance to interview Britton and he loved his visit. He gave it a ten.

He will wait till after his visits to Texas Tech and UTEP to make a decsion.

He toured the campus and took part in all pregame team activites including the tunnel walk

 
Britton called it a "mind blowing" experience, according to Rivals.

This kid seems kinda small though. Only about 165 pounds!!

 
He was interviewed on Big Red Wrap up and Sean Callahan of Huskers Illustrated called him possible the best player in West Texas.

Britton said he would like to have a decision by the end of the month (october)

 
I don't know if I would say that UTEP has the inside edge. Every local paper is going to make it sound like their team has an advantage. Plus, I don't know that many people that are going to come right out and say that their recruiting visit sucked. The article said that Price had him go off campus a little bit more than what Nebraska did, which I don't understand because Britton is from El Paso so I don't see a reason for him to be going around the town.

 
Edward Britton has commited to Texas Tech citing the closeness to home.

I think this works out quite well, I didn't think much of him anyway
