Huskers And Beavers Latest To Offer Stanton
“I got both Nebraska and Oregon State offers today (6/14). It was a very good for me. Coach Tim Beck (Nebraska) asked me through an e-mail to call him so I called back 3 PM today so that’s when he told me – he offered me.”
“Beck said he was looking forward to me they liked how I threw on Tuesday while I visited them. One of the things they were looking for make sure I can run. They looked at my high school tape and felt confident.” Stanton said
Nebraska Type QB
“He (Beck) thinks I fit very well in their offense. He said they are very excited about me. Nebraska prides them self on running quarterbacks. There are not very many quarterbacks that fit their offense very well.”
“They (NU) like the way I can pass as well. I think that is something they like about me.
They like my competiveness.” Stanton said
“There were only six schools that offered me as a quarterback and Nebraska is one of these BCS schools that offered me as a quarterback. That’s (NU offer) something I’m considering very highly. Nebraska is a great school and I’m very interested.” Stanton said
Stanton said other schools that offered him as a quarterback are Air Force, Navy, Utah, and Oregon State, Utah State. The Washington Huskies and California Berkeley offered him as an athlete.
“I want to play quarterback.” Stanton said
"Best Fans In America”
“I heard about how they (NU) have the best fans in America and I think that says something. I’m looking for a great fan base. I’m sure there is a lot of schools top that but they can’t offer the tradition Nebraska has.” Stanton said
“It’s very cool a huge stadium, the facilities they have, and great coaching staff. It’s all very appealing. It’s all very cool.” Stanton added
“I visited Oregon State yesterday (6/13) it was only one hour drive. I wasn’t able to talk to Coach Mike Riley because he wasn’t there; he wasn’t able to officially offer me. He really likes the way I throw. Future Visit To Wisconsin
“I think I’m going to Wisconsin in two weeks,” he says. “We don’t have anything else planned. They (Wisc) recently had Russell Wilson. They have great quarterback tradition. They did very well the last few years.”
“I actually have to know more about Wisconsin. They’ve been in the national spot light the last couple years. Actually it’s a pretty good school.”
Versatile QB
“I think I can be considered a dual threat. I think I can throw as well. My accuracy in the off season is what I need to work on. Coaches have noticed that it’s becoming one of my strengths. I work on that a lot.” Stanton said
“I’m probably not one of the fastest guys on the Nebraska program. I probably only run a 4.7 range more of a downhill runner. I was told I have good feet. I would like to see what I can do at the next level. The games are a lot faster.” Stanton said
“I’m excited for my senior year for football; I’m clearly invested for the season it’s still fun to think about the next level.”
