Cool! What was his job during the offseason?
I don’t think he needed an off season job. I never asked him if he did. He was always hanging around the school during the day. Point was, if we can’t block it, maybe we needed a guy who can make people miss on punt returns. 🤔

WTF, Frank Solich played college football at 140 pounds, but that was 60 years ago...times have changed.
45 years ago virtually everybody was doing roids. Leo played against guys like Alzado etc. The job of a slot receiver and punt returner hasn’t really changed much since then. Hell we had multiple 300 lb D and O linemen. 250 lb backers. 200+ lb safeties. It’s silly to crack on a 160 lb slot/punt returner. Thats his role.

Maybe he's a special teams guy. But wait... only if he understands special teams isn't about special teams glory.

Not a fan of the reference to being like Barney. We need fast guys who don't get blown over by a stiff wind.

In this day and age of college football, it's hard to care about high school recruits.

was reading this, thinking to myself, what do you bet it's another WR..

now maybe this kid is a game changer, but this has happened so many times with this pass happy ******** offense.. we haven't been able to punch the ball in because we won't go get a true running back, but yeah, let's get another small kid, pay him a ton of NIL and target him 3 times all year. I'm at a loss for words anymore on this OC and HC.

We’ll recruit a RB. We still have to take several WRs every year. Maybe he’s a guy that can give us multiple punt return TDs as a true freshman. We don’t know.

My grad advisor's bf at the time played in the NFL in the early 70s. He was a saftety. His stories paint a picture of a bunch of savages on the field. Guys that played the next play not remembering what happened on the last play.

Brad Johnson from NU alternated series with Rimmington at center. He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Browns but was cut the last cut. He said “those guys are crazy. They didn’t just want to hurt you. They wanted to kill you”. He took his signing bonus and bought a farm.

Leo Lewis says hello. Played multiple years in the NFL at WR and punt returner. He dated one of my profs at Mizzou and weighed about 140-150. Tiny.
Nebraska needs to get 12-15 quality 4* recruits every year like Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and others. The coaching isn't good enough to make much of a difference at Nebraska, but better talent can help. Nebraska is #10 on Rivals for now, Rhule and Company have a way of sliding down outside the top 40 as time goes on.
