Recruiting 2020 linebackers is not done yet. Too early for these type of posts. Wait until Feb. but can assess things in Dec. when most kids are signed.
Interesting picks. Hodge is basically the same dimensions as Groce (and about the same star ranking), so probably replacing him. Aho seems like cover in the OLB/DE spot but most likely to end up at OLB.
This is what our current roster looks like so you can see they are filling in some sophmore holes. These guys will slot in ahead of the current redshirting guys and with Nelson and Reimer.
OLB
ILB
- Jr: Domann and Jefferson
- So: Tannor
- RFr: Alston
- Fr: Nelson (burned) and Graham
- Recruits: Groce Jr (decommit) and Aho (will slot in as a So with Alston and Nelson)
As you can see, we have basically screwed the pooch on LB recruiting in 2020. We had only a single guy and he de-committed. I'd expect some transfer portal activity here as well. Considering we have 2 walk-ons getting time on the 2-deep, we have some considerable holes to fill. This is possibly a warning that not all of our freshman class (Snodgrass, Hannah and Henrich) are going to be ready.

- RFr: Johnson (walk-on)

We only have a couple of LB targets with the biggest probably being Kaden Johnson.
Hodge is a heck of a lot faster than Groce. Groce has more size though.Interesting picks. Hodge is basically the same dimensions as Groce (and about the same star ranking), so probably replacing him. Aho seems like cover in the OLB/DE spot but most likely to end up at OLB.

Well we'll see if it's bad news or not. I seem to recall lots of kids tweeting over the years "blessed to receive an offer from the Huskers" who never ended up in Lincoln.Now for some bad recruiting news:
He's new to football and very athletic supposedly. Big guy who can move. Worth a shot. Sounds like he'll be a bit of a project. He might be that pass rushing OLB that we've been looking for.Aho seems like a reach. Not sure how he fits in a 3-4 defense. I'll have to trust the coaches on this one.
