Steven Octavien

From the little I saw from him last year, he could end up actually being the most talented defensive player. I realize he will have to prove it on the field, but this young man could be the best LB we have had since Farley. With the talented group of LBs we have, this guy possibly is a step above the rest.

 
I agree. Some people say wait til the season, but he showed so much talent in those short 15 minutes, and I remember thinking this guy is going to be awesome next year when he comes back. I think by the end of the year, he could end up getting more acolades than Carriker. In the spring he looked good, and said he felt good, so it will be exciting to see him play.

 
Farley was a good player that was made to look great because of all of the weapons around him. had he not wasted his talent the next year then he might have been on of the greats. But with Winstrom, Peter, Peter, and Tomich on the line I could have been all american

:lol: :yeah

 
I understand what you are saying, husker rob. Despite him being a screw up and despite him having great players around him, Farley was the most talented LB I've seen played at NU. Octavien, talent-wise, reminds me of him.

I'll have to say some of the plays Demarrio Williams made were just unbelieveable. And he did it with only a fair defense around him. And he is the only one that made that defense fair. Without him it would have sucked.

I am excited about SteveO though. I don't think he will receive more accolades than Bowman or Carricker though just because he isn't receiving the preseason hype. But if he has a great year this year, he will be in the running for all the awards next year.

 
I think Octavien and Williams are a lot alike. Fast, strong, and both coming out of juco. Lcukily we get Octavien for two more years.

 
if he has a great year then I dont think that there will be a next year for Steve. I think he will be off to the NFL and not even apply for the medical RS.

Thats my opinion, but I would love to see him for 2 full years in Red

 
as far as I know you cant apply for a med rs until you have exhausted all eligibility. i could be wrong though
That's what I thought as well, but I believe his rs was already granted by the NCAA. He is listed as a Junior, I believe.

I totally agree. There are many similarities, except SteveO is bigger, and seems just as fast. That's why I am so excited to see him play. Hopefully that first quarter from last year was just a teaser of things to come.
