Good deal.

Is he related to Christian?

No, but he is related to Micah Riley-Ducker.

He said he had an Iowa State t-shirt on when Cooper called him.  When Rhule got the phone, he told Jones to put a Husker t-shirt on and call back.  When Jones called back he got the offer.

We had been in contact with him before and told him we wanted to see him play some as a senior.  But after seeing him at camp they decided to offer.

We're recruiting him as a safety.

This one feels like nobody should be awarded points. Too obvious.

That's pretty slow for a DB

He’s also 17-18 and hasn’t been through a college strength and conditioning program.

Well coming from someone who ran a 4.6 at 17-18. That's pretty slow for a DB lol.  He'll be a SS and play in the box

Maybe going the Osborne route and make slow dbs into fast lbs.

There were all of 12 Safeties that ran faster than 4.62 at the NFL Combine this year.

The first safety drafted ran 4.65.
