Kid did great at Nike combine and has excellent SPARQ numbers.
His 2016 SPARQ Rating would have been good for 55th nationally in 2014 and 2015. SPARQ Rating is 4th nationally thus far in '16.

Arizona State in 3...2...1...
The agility time worried me a bit, but I saw the average LB pro-agility time at the 2011 combine was 4.31, and he would be just outside the top 15 of this year's LB combine participants. He's just a couple tenths off of that. Very solid athletically.
The worry is that he committed without taking a trip. If he is a hidden gem, others will now take notice.

Looking like NU is going to have to really fight to keep this kid. He's now being followed by coaches at Minn, OSU, Syracuse, Alabama, Miami, Vanderbilt, MSU, and Duke.
Not sure if or how many followed after his commitment, but interesting none the less.

You want players that are wanted! Fear not boys, this is a very good thing! I have a feeling this class is going to have some serious momentum going for it soon. All aboard!
Yep! Was thinking the exact same thing. That or Michigan. Harbaugh loves Riley recruits.
We need to get him on campus ASAP, kids that commit without taking a visit make me leery.
Either way, glad to have him!!!!
I think it has more to do with his Sparq Combine than the Husker offer. When you see his measurable and then watch his film, its pretty clear he's a high level recruit. He should be a 5.8 Four Star... But I doubt Rivals will give him 4-Stars unless Bama offers.
The big question, where does this put us in the team rankings.
Looks athletic, seems like he diagnoses some plays very quickly in his film. Seems to have good eyes. Lots of good awareness plays. He does a lot of little things that you can teach, but a lot of kids are never going to pick up. Like how he gets his hands active when the QB releases the ball. He's not just dialed in on a hit for his own glory, he's looking to break up the pass.
Looks like he likes to hit. Could stand to get his pads down, get his hips under him more consistently. You can spot some hits where he's throwing a high shoulder that wouldn't work if he wasn't striking some little HS kid.
Like at 4:15 where the end goes in motion and he steps in toward the tackle. That's a little thing that shows he's paying attention pre-snap.
Some nice cuts of him keeping his assignment and levering the runner back inside when he has the edge.
...............................and that's just his junior film!

Nice. I'll try not to get too excited for a while. He hasn't even visited Lincoln yet. And perhaps I'm reading too much into his comment about committing so he can focus on his schoolwork. Maybe he's got straight A's. Or he could have a lot of work to do before he's eligible. I'm a bit worried it's the latter.
If we get him, that'll help make Boyd happy.

Assume he'll start out as a 5.6 or 5.7 3-star, very easily could jump in to the R250. His SPARQ numbers are ridiculous.
Yes sir. I'm a big fan of this commitment. Offers are coming for this guy.
We need to get more team speed on defense. I envision this kid flying off the edge.
