Malik Hornsby from Arkansas. Known as a very good runner.
Xfer QB visit
- Thread starter cubsker
- Start date
extremely fast
don't recall him throwing much (or effectively) in his limited time playing

If he is good enough for HCMR, he's good enough for me. I trust in our coach.
I wonder what that means/implies about the other QB who visited this past weekend? Coaches think he's not likely to come to Nebraska? Or are they trying to put a little pressure on him?
Here's an article on the QB who has a prior relationship with Rhule:

You and me both.
What am I missing here? In 3 seasons his total stats are
18-39 (46% completion) for 314 yards. I TD, 2 INTs. I don't see much to be excited about.

Extreme athlete. Zone read RPO nightmare for a defense. Developmental guy
would be probably one of the 5 or 10 fastest kids in the big ten
From the Nebraska athletics website: "Chubba Purdy completed 22-of-48 passes for 147 yards while rushing 24 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns."
What's missing are his high school stats and the fact that he didn't get a chance to play much behind the starter at Arkansas. Rhule wanted him before at Baylor before Rhule left for Carolina. Here's an excerpt from the Link I included in my earlier post:
"The 6-foot-2, 186-pound Hornsby is a legitimate track star. He’s a sub-11-second runner in the 100-meter dash and pairs that with a strong arm and high school production that saw him toss 52 touchdowns against just 4 INTs in his final two seasons in Texas."
There’s yer sign. I figured at some point Rhule was going to get some transfers that he was recruiting for Baylor.
I trust Rhule but don’t we have this guy already on the roster with Smothers?
Sounds like he might make a decent receiver then. But his passing stats are atrocious. Did we not learn anything from the two Martinezes? QBs need to be able to throw.
I wondering it is a Hornsby or Sims situation or can we get both?
He’d be exciting to have on the team in the right offense. Looks like prime T-mart speed. He ended the game against Georgia Southern and Arkansas blew them out…
I dunno, I'm not a football expert but 52 TDs vs. 4 INT combined with track speed and a strong arm doesn't sound too bad to me.
That's an awfully small sample size amounting to only basically one complete game. Any how I trust Rhule studied the whole situation high school/college combined and knows more than the rest of us having studied some film.
I watched his start vs LSU. They had to bench him for the 3rd stringer, who at least gave them a chance. He's raw to say the least as a passer.
Tommie Fraziers stats throwing the ball at the college level:
44/100 -> 44% 10/1 TD-INT
77/162 -> 47.5% 12/4 TD-INT
19/44 -> 43.2% 4/2 TD-INT
92/163 -> 56.4% 17/4 TD-INT
I figure if you can win a national championship and should have been a Heisman winner with those types of numbers, you can at least be "serviceable" as rushing QB with an approx 50% pass completion rate for a team that is in the midst of an epic rebuild.
People will lose their mind when Rhule rolls out Tom’s option offense in the spring game complete with a fullback…,,,
That's all you needed with option fb with great rbs and killer o line. Might take some lumps
💯 yes , my guess they are wanting another Smothers type to compete with him and CT can hit the door. Sims and this guy are both 2020 guys that came out same time Smothers did.
This kid is raw. This kid is electric.
This kid is way quicker and way faster than Smothers.
He'd fit in about perfectly with our track record of transfers and recruits at that position.
No, Hornsby is a much better athlete than Smothers.
He hasn't been practicing qb all year. He's been playing a different position. It's a tough ask to bring him in and I think he looked a lot better last year when he was actually playing the position.
no, it was a lot of injury fill-in duty plus some gadget stuff
I watched way too much Arkansas this year
everyone in the SEC knew about this kid & keyed on his legs when in there - a feather in his cap, if you ask me. very clear teams prepped for him as the season wore on.
I don't know who kent smith is...

A developmental guy who may not end up being a QB. Rhule may just want him as an "athlete" with a big upside to play almost any skill position on offense and defense.
He's very fast and good to be a WR a la Luke MacCaffrey, but depends on what Rhule and the OC finalize getting him to commit.
