Kinda what I was thinking. Maybe Imani?
Former QB then switched to DB, I believe.Wow I didn't know Veland started at RB
What are you seeing that leads you to believe that people will be impressed with imani cross`s role this yr?Imani Cross is going to be used as an H-Back and in short yardage situations a ton this season. I think people will be impressed with his role this year. Besides, it would be a futile situation to switch him to backer as a senior.
Adam Taylor is going to be a special running back for Nebraska. He would've played a ton last season had he not been injured. He and Newby are going to be the feature backs in 2015.
Stevenson and Wilbon are too small to play linebacker in a Power 5 conference. Both of them will Return kicks and have roles within the passing game.
On a side note, people are forgetting about Luke Gifford at linebacker. He is allegedly up to 6'3 225 right now and faster than he ever was at 205.

IMO, Cross is going to get a chance to play fullback in the NFL. He has the body type of guys like Jerome Felton or even former players like Tony Richardson. That position has largely been marginalized in the NFL because of the development of the tight end.
I;m hearing Nebraska plans on using him in a full back/Hback hybrid role. He will get some carries in short yardage situations out of power formations, be used as a blocker, and even will get the chance to catch the football because its likely opponents will not account for him.
Imani should've never been recruited to play running back in a Tim Beck offense. It was an odd choice for him and Nebraska. I still can;t fathom why Beck would call stretch plays or outside zone runs with Cross on the field. Cross will be utilized accordingly this season and will be a more effective player for the Huskers under Langsdorf.

Not sure if serious. Influx of speed, size, and talent from guys that have zero CFB experience. Will 1, maybe 2, freshman make a meaningful impact? Yes, but beyond that is just not gonna happen. It is very very rare for a true freshman make waves. We are in big trouble at LB.The linebackers are going to take care of themselves; we have an influx of speed, size and talent coming right now; serious talent. Imo a running back trying to switch and learn a lb position will have a disadvantage; not too mention they will be rolling down large safeties to lb as necessary or opportunity permits ( multiple articles and part of recruiting philosophy ). Imani is a physical wonder; for a fullback he would be pretty agile and does have some moves.
Esp. With santos leaving.Not sure if serious. Influx of speed, size, and talent from guys that have zero CFB experience. Will 1, maybe 2, freshman make a meaningful impact? Yes, but beyond that is just not gonna happen. It is very very rare for a true freshman make waves. We are in big trouble at LB.
Going forward, yes. I`m very concerned about this season. We are 1 injury away from a true freshman starting, and that is typically a recipe for disasterThank goodness we have Bray to recruit the position properly.

That wasn't what I was answering. I would rather have our young linebackers and incoming; than try to convert a rb from scratch ( not winning playing time at rb, and they are going to supplant the others ( lb's) with no experience? ). We all have been discussing what you bring up; certainly on point for the position.Not sure if serious. Influx of speed, size, and talent from guys that have zero CFB experience.
