Another speedster, Wandale Robinson of Frankfort, Kentucky, has popped onto Nebraska’s recruiting radar for the class of 2019.
The Huskers are serious about loading up the “Duck-R” position, which probably explains Robinson’s recruitment.
In an interview Wednesday with HuskerOnline.com, the four-star athlete said he plans to visit Nebraska’s campus Sept. 1, the day the Huskers open the Scott Frost era against Akron.
“They’ve been really trying to get me out there, and I couldn’t get out there this summer,” Robinson said.
If you’re unfamiliar with the “Duck-R” designation, think about a do-everything running back. That’s what Nebraska has talked to Robinson about playing.
“It’s really just being that athlete that they get the ball to in space – playing running back, playing slot, being able to catch the ball, being able to run the ball,” Robinson said. “Just doing a whole bunch of different things.”
Frost’s success as Oregon’s offensive coordinator caught Robinson’s eye. He thinks he could fit in Frost’s system.
But, as one might expect, Robinson is on the radar of several prominent schools. He’s made official visits to Purdue and Michigan and unofficial stops at Ohio State, Alabama and Kentucky.
He plans to sign in December and enroll in
January.
If the 5-9, 175-pound Robinson chooses Nebraska, he would join the likes of true freshman Miles Jones (5-9, 170) and 2019 commit Rahmir Johnson (5-10, 170) at the “Duck-R” spot. There obviously are other players who could play the role.
Yeah, Nebraska is going to have a lot of little fast dudes that could create headaches for defenses. Headaches and mismatches.
