SIGNED RB/DB Drake Martinez

[Thanks_Tom RR]

My gut says he is the Willis backup plan. Just a hunch.

I guess it is time for Plan Drake or Martinez: The Sequel!

I think that might have been what Joseph was, but I hope you're right....

Boaz was most definitely Willis' replacement

Have not followed recruiting like I have in the past... so really have not seen much of most of these guys... this one in particular. So... question... is it possible that were he to join our team that he could play CB... and play it potentially well.? Or, is he more a safety (it appears that is what he played in HS) without the attributes to switch (if need be) to safety?

With Singleton and especially with Gerry coming in for certain, and with McWilson still a possibility... that makes three safeties in theis class already. There is as well rumer that Charles Jackson (an upcoming sophomore) is switching to safety as well. That is quite a few young guys there. At CB we seem to have fewer young guys... Jonathon Rose (will be a sophomore, I think)... but who else other than Boaz Joseph.

So... I'd be more excited about Drake as a scholarship player if he projected well as a CB. So... would he be OK there?

He is a safety/LB hybrid all the way, CB may not be out of the question but not what he is being recruited for.

Not rumor. This is happening for sure

I really hope we find some gems as the last line of defense. That position is vital to our scheme.

Ya and DT!

Any chance with the Walker de-commit that it opens the door for an athlete like this ? I would really like to see him on campus!

 

[huskergeorge990]

There was a spot with Walker for Drake . . . . . All we did was lose a very good wide receiver prospect.

 

[HuskerT]

He could be a priority now with McWilson's decommit. Has the speed and athleticism to play almost anywhere.

Who's faster between them two? Him and his brother that is.

Drake is.

 

[Army_Allen]

And we don't want him on our team, unless as a last resort? You can find places for speed like that on any team.

Drake is.

I read an article where Drake said his older brother is faster, but he's catching up.
