No idea. But he is working with the 2's at CB. Bringing some fire and not backing down from anything is the word out of camp.
If Blades really wanted to be here he would have been.... i want players like this that want to be here and bust there ***
Why bag on the kid? What is done is done. We do not know all of the circumstance, whatever, it is over and we have to move on. I wish the kid the best and would still love to seem as a Husker someday.
It is, he had a pretty clear path to get eligible and didn't take advantage. Glad to hear this Stovall kid is getting after it and has already passed some older, talented guys.
If I had to guess based strictly on the photos of Jerry Stovall and Jerimiah Stovall, I would lean toward not related.
76 seems pretty old to be RS Soph defensive back, but some people have better genes than others. Winking
Says RS SO on the roster (Creighton Prep Grad) Listed at 5'11" 185
From Huskers.com bio:
Before Nebraska (Creighton Prep)
Stovall joined the Huskers in January 2016 after being selected from a Husker walk-on tryout. Stovall played high school football at Creighton Prep, where he collected first-team Super-State accolades in 2014 when the Junior Jays took Class A state runner-up honors. Stovall had six interceptions, eight pass breakups, two blocked kicks and 45 tackles as a senior. Offensively, he rushed 75 times for 812 yards and 11 touchdowns, while catching four passes for 58 yards. Stovall also returned kickoffs and punts. As a junior in 2013, he amassed 34 solo tackles and 49 assisted stops, and managed two interceptions in helping the team advance to the state playoffs.
Personal
The son of Christopher and Maureen Stovall, Jeremiah was born on Aug. 4, 1997. He is majoring in criminology and criminal justice.
Nowhere did i bag on him.. its a fact. He knew what he had to do to get qualified and didnt get it done.. i didnt wish him any ill will either. It wasnt my responsibillity... or the coaches... i can tell you this i havent lost 1 minute of sleep over this so to say we need to move on well thats what prompted my post to begin with.. in reference to centrals post
I was wondering about this kid. Looked as good as anyone in coverage during the spring game.
Sure you did, you said he didn't want to be here and apparently he didn't bust his (there/their) ***. I don't know his particular circumstances, maybe it is all his fault, maybe not, maybe there are others things going on. Not sure how you can get in his head and say he didn't want to be here and he didn't bust his *** - I suppose you went to class with him. Not everyone who tries real hard gets the job done.
Except he said in an interview that he had 2nd thoughts about coming to Nebraska and that is why he took the JUCO route instead of the academic redshirt. Although I am not sure he had the grades and test scores to be an academic redshirt, just taking him at his word.
Not to bring the thread back to Jeramiah Stovall or anything...but this kid is going to get some PT this year. He went against 1s and 2s off and on all day. On just about every drive he's either the lead tackler or an assisting tackler against the 2s and did well against the 1s. Stovall covered Reimers/Rahn all afternoon and when Tanner Lee was in the game, he seldom threw to them when he was guarding them. For how short we are at the field corner spot, this kid needs to just bring his lunch pail everyday and could earn some PT quickly. Fast forward to these times during the spring scrimmage:
11:22, 11:55 (assist), 13:06 (drives and tackles Tre Bryant 10 yards back), 24:17 (covers a long Tanner Lee pass), 24:59, 43:49, 1:26:55 (covers Tanner's home run ball and shows off some serious speed),
11:22, 11:55 (assist), 13:06 (drives and tackles Tre Bryant 10 yards back), 24:17 (covers a long Tanner Lee pass), 24:59, 43:49, 1:26:55 (covers Tanner's home run ball and shows off some serious speed),
He showed more in those clips than I've seen from Lamar Jackson. Hope Lamar is getting his physicality right this fall camp.
Lamar's early issue IMO was hesitation. He seems to really have the coaches confidence now, you are describing the next step
I didn't watch Lamar a ton in the spring but I do remember Bob Elliot really wanted Lamar Jackson on the field because of his size, frame and speed. It will definitely be a gamble having him out there but in the long run I hope he is right. What I do know is if Stovall keeps the mentality I saw on the spring game tape, he will see the field at some point this season.
