Yep good for him.Wish him well. Used his experience here to not only earn his degree but to live the life of major college football player, albeit a lower level reserve. I suspect he’s on the hunt now to find a school to fund his grad school degree.
He was a reach as far as a recruit at this level and played the ‘system’ to his advantage.
GBR!
Biggest issue with the 3-4 is finding outside linebackers. Hell NFL teams struggle finding those guys how are we going to if we cant recruit a top 10 class?I hate the 3-4 defense.
It used to seem easy to find linebackers or convert safeties.
but the culture!Only 8 of the 25 signees from the 2018 class still on the roster.
Exactly. Seems like we were much more successful recruiting for the 4-3. Finding two decent DT's and two decent DE's is a lot easier than trying to find a unicorn at each defensive line position and a unicorn at OLB.I hate the 3-4 defense.

Give us a update on the 2019 class.Only 8 of the 25 signees from the 2018 class still on the roster.
so weird that Wisconsin can do it though.Exactly. Seems like we were much more successful recruiting for the 4-3. Finding two decent DT's and two decent DE's is a lot easier than trying to find a unicorn at each defensive line position and a unicorn at OLB.
And has won nothingso weird that Wisconsin can do it though.
Nebraska runs a 4-3/4-2-5 a TON.Exactly. Seems like we were much more successful recruiting for the 4-3. Finding two decent DT's and two decent DE's is a lot easier than trying to find a unicorn at each defensive line position and a unicorn at OLB.

Personnel wise it's still a 3-4. Nelson could maybe be considered a 4-3 DE, but there's now way in hell Tannor is.Nebraska runs a 4-3/4-2-5 a TON.
What’s kind of funny is that we went years struggling to find the right players in the 4-3 under Pelini and a bunch of people clamored for the 3-4. It’s easy to forget starting Cam Meredith at DT. Or Jack Gangwish or Ross Dzuris at DE.Exactly. Seems like we were much more successful recruiting for the 4-3.

Yet could still.piss 9 wins and were putting players in the leagueWhat’s kind of funny is that we went years struggling to find the right players in the 4-3 under Pelini and a bunch of people clamored for the 3-4.

Meredith as a DT was bad, I'll give you that. But Gangwish by his senior year was a darn good player and Dzuris was never as bad as he was made out to be. I'd say the Davis twins probably had more talent than those guys, but at the same time our defensive line wasn't any better because of poor coaching and the switch to the 3-4.What’s kind of funny is that we went years struggling to find the right players in the 4-3 under Pelini and a bunch of people clamored for the 3-4.

This is not unique to Nebraska. Look at Tyreke Johnson who left tOSU and is in the portal and maybe will be joining the Huskers. He was a 5 star recruit. Being the top player in Minn. is not the same as being the top player in Georgia or Ohio.Oh he was a reach huh?? Only the top-rated player in the STATE of Minnesota
What kind of revisionist history is this?? It's so easy to get over on the casual Nebraska fan in this site because most have their head up the coach's arse so high they can't see past their nose!
Im tired of fans trashing 4 star and BIG recruits that can't develop because they have had inadequate coaching and development since they graduated from high school and arrived in Lincoln. Alston was the NUMBER 1 recruit in the state of Minnesota and top 25 DE/pass rusher in the country! Wisconsin, Utah and Iowa State wanted him badly.
I guess next you will say that Tate Wildeman (top rated player in Colorado) and Jackson Hannah (4 star LB) who EVERYBODY wanted were "reaches" too??
We have had more highly rated recruits come to Neb and waste their God-given talents than any other school I can remember. No development at LB, pass rusher, QB, RB or WR the last 5 years.
Not a chance. He's from Minnesota, but like several other transfers and bench riders, we recruited him when his home state school chose to go after other prospects. I think he's going to Rhode Island or something like that.Rowing the boat?
