4* DE Guy Thomas commits
- Thread starter GBRhuskers_rivals203711
- Start date
I assume he will be a combination of Guy Chamberlain and Broderick Thomas.
Kid looks like a really good athlete. Can't teach speed and he was running down RB's with no problem. Played his assignment and was able to control the LOS(at least in the Hi-Lit vid).
Congrats and nice pick up. You have a nice class coming together.

Welcome Guy! Signs in recruiting are really positive right now. Really happy to see some studs on the lines as well as all the skill position interest we've seen lately!
NU is currently checking in at #26 in overall recruiting rank and about the same spot in average star rank as well. Keep moving on up!!!
No. Same mistake I made. Make sure your on 2017. The recruiting page defaults to 2016 for some reason.
#18 on star ranking right now. Obviously, the team ranking is a bit flawed as programs with more commits by default will have more points. I don't anticipate that Iowa State will out recruit us this year.
I can play wherever coach puts me at. I know that when I go to college they are going to probably have me as a hybrid at rush d-end and a drop back linebacker because I can move.I was gonna say...damn 6'3 205?? CB-S Lamar Jackson is bigger. LOL...Definite redshirt. Hit the gym and training table but incredible offer list.
“I’m at 212 right now and I think I’m going to weigh at least 230 or 235-pounds of muscle when I go away to college. I know once I enter into their program and start eating right I should be able to be at least 270 and lean because I’m still growing.”
Based on offer list, as big a recruit as we've got. He still looks like a project in many ways. He's not close to the size of a classic defensive end, and is even small for an outside LB. And based on reading between the lines of some comments his coach made about how it's good he's leaving Florida, I have to think he's coming from a very tough background. Clearly the staff like his upside, and must think he projects into a really good player. Like they say, you can't coach speed. I hope Nebraska can help everything else come together for him.
He did a short interview and sounds like a tremendous young man with his wits about him. His Brother plays for FSU I believe. He has grown close to his new position coach since we brought him on board; as a player he has nothing but choices. Someone said he had a deep personal loss in his family..... that could be your tough background. He has moved to a larger HS, his previous coach had nothing but praise for him.
He listed out a time table of where he should grow too; and retain his outstanding speed and sacking ability. He seems to know how N may use him. He thinks he will be about 235 of muscle when he gets too N, and is projected to grow taller - and he sees 270 and speed in his future. As I recall it.
GBR = a great commit, from a man who has determined his academic path at N, also offers him a great future.
