Steven M. Sipple: Cam Jurgens, key cog in Frost offense, strongly considering jump to NFL
Those with knowledge of Cam Jurgens' situation say recent projections suggest he could be drafted in the middle rounds — the third, fourth or fifth.journalstar.com
Not sure what to think about this. On one hand he’s easily the most athletic center we’ve had in I don’t know 15-20 years? On the other he was inconsistent with high snaps and dumb penalties.
Yeah your correct about his body of work this year. I’m curious if Austin’s firing is making him contemplate making the jump. IMO he’s still a bit raw and could do with another year of development. The only concern I have is who is the new OL coach going to be. That hire might be the most important out of any.
My biggest fear of what could sabotage any chance we have next year.
He definitely was close with Austin.
You may want to re-watch the Iowa game. Smothers fumble was partly due to a high snap.
Yep. Still had the high snaps from time to time just not as egregious as prior seasons. I'm sure he'll develop into a good NFL guard and we'll all wonder why the hell Nebraska wasted him at center.
Yeah I think that’s what could driving his decision the most. In the article it mentions that Frost may be pursing Donovan Raiola(Dominic’s brother). It says he’s noted as a technician and likes to teach the finer details of the craft. That could be just what the OL needs, but it could also be catastrophically bad. Our OL has trouble enough just sticking to their assignments and playing till the whistle.
With this I agree. A year of learning under a new and hopefully better O line coach could do wonders for him. When I ran back plays, he was generally our best O lineman but that isn't saying much.
Yes, please. Guys love to throw shade at Jurgens but it would be huge to have him back next year.
Cam's good, but Piper or Hixon should be more than adequate. We have options if he chooses the NFL.

I agree. Other than him, we have no athleticism, talent, or guys with any solid fundamental play on the O-line. Unless we are able to get some of that in the transfer portal, we could be in big trouble next year.
Please, just give it a rest already! What is it you think you are gaining from all this B.S. you're constantly spewing? If you don't like what's going on, pick a team from the west coast and move on already. I recommend you hitch your wagon to Lincoln Riley and become a USC fan and leave us alone since no one wants you here anymore. My god, you're worse than any Iowa troll that visit this board.
3rd/4th round money or 1st/ 2nd round money is a big difference. Kid should stay another year.
Smother's fumble was purely about Belt trying to take the ball and Smothers not making the right read. Then as he pulled the ball he hit it on Belt's thigh knocking it loose. The snap had nothing to do with it. You need to watch some NFL shotgun snaps. Cam has been consistently very good this year.
There aren't many 1st round NFL drafted centers. I think the OU center was the first off the board to KC late in the 2nd (and he's been a stud for the Chiefs). If Cam gets a 3rd or 4th round grade, I'd recommend that he goes for it. Sucks for the Huskers, but it's best for him. If he's healthy and the NFL is prepared to pay him, I think he should go ahead. I don't think his stock will go up much by staying another year, and there's always a risk if he stays.
