Feeling a little better about CB depth...

[HBK4life]

SEEN: Another good day for Omaha Creighton Prep walk-on cornerback Jeremiah Stovall. He had an interception during a drill when he mirrored NU freshman Jaevon McQuitty, broke on the ball quickly and outmuscled McQuitty for the pick. Later, Stovall ran stride-for-stride with Conor Young on a go route, popping the ball free from Young as the two came down.

SEEN: Lamar Jackson playing a quick hitch pass to perfection, jumping all over the play and stuffing it for zero gain. --- Redshirt freshman Tony Butler worked at corner in Thursday's practice after playing safety last season. Big corner -- 6-2, 215. #Huskers

Stovall sounds like the real deal giving us a solid 4 deep for both corner positions. Also Tony Butler practicing at CB now giving a little more depth.

C'mon man! Walk-on white kid at CB? We've been down this path before and it doesn't end well...

Big corners are all the rage right now.

After seeing that profile, I suddenly think this guy is a lot more athletic that we all were led to believe. In the same light, his grittiness and stick-to it style and playing like his hair is on fire feels lacking now.

He is also no longer scrappy and heady.

His playing style used to remind me of Jason Sehorn, but now I see him as more of a Darelle Revis.

The fact that Kalu is staying at safety should tell us something, also thank goodness for the walk on program

Just realized that Stovall wasn't even a preferred walk-on. When was the last time a "try-out walk-on" started for NU?

Sounds like he won't be a walk on much longer...

Edit: not that I've heard anything, just saying if he is two deep at CB, a scholarship will be coming soon.

Matt O'Hanlon

Thought about O Hanlon too... but he was a safety, wasn't he? Are we talking just about any in the Def backfield, or are we specifically bringing up CBs?

He was a safety. I was strictly answering spinner's question. If it was meant to be only CBs, then my bad.

 

[JaySker402]

was Ricketts a walkon?

Stovall ran 11.19 in the 100M and placed 5th at States in 2015. That isn't elite speed, but it's pretty damned good. To compare, Tyjon Lindsay's 100M PR (10th grade) is 11.14. And it seems like Stovall is playing good FB right now.

He had to have had offers out of hs.

And he no longer is a kid who "brings his lunch pail"

 

[BigRedballz]

He had to have had offers out of hs.

You would think, but maybe he was injured or playing out of position or something. Maybe he grew/filled out a lot in the last couple of years.

Translation > our QBs suck and our WRs can't get any separation

There could have been other issues involved but who knows. Some kids get small school offers but decide they want to go to a larger university for academic or social reasons(me for one back in the day). He was presented an opportunity and took it. He's a very good athlete one way or another scholarship or not. The Haas kid moving to safety shouldn't be discounted either. That kid can play too.

Must be why Wyatt Mazour isn't starting!

>> Riley said the depth at cornerback has improved with strides from redshirt freshman Tony Butler and sophomore Avery Anderson

 

[chrsmneric]

Will Avery ever truly get into the mix or will new recruits bury him in the next class or two? Had high hopes for him but Lee is showing more from that duo

Avery is in the mix so to speak but he actually seems to be a bit if a "tweener"...CB size, S-like skill set. As of right now he is in the top five corners.

Who is working at nickle right now??
