Why would they offer a FB with a limited number of scholarships and Marrow already set to take a spot next year? Are they looking at Powell at LB instead?

Just a hunch, we may not take another TE and need an additional blocker for this class. Besides Legate is leaving after this year, and we will need some depth at FB.

 
I don't know, CJ Zimmerer is a So. and Marrow is also a So. I just don't think this is the class to take a FB, especially since finding a walk on FB is not unusual.

Maybe its to help convince Mr. Lawler to come to Nebraska and not ASU, being that they wouldnt know anybody and it is pretty far back to SoCal.

 
I am guessing this is not just a FB but is also a possible H-BACK. Someone who can replace Legate or Thomsen. I think they are liking what Thomsen is doing. I know I am.

 
Meh, nothing against Christian but I don't like taking a FB/H-B in this class. Who is to say that CJ Zimmerer can't play both FB and H-Back like Legate? Heck both Legate and Thomsen are walk ons, I would think they could find another FB in the walk on pool and if need be play Marrow at H-Back. If Marrow is good, that would be a good way to get him on the field since touches are likely to be a challenge with the sudden plethora of talented skill position players.

 
6'0", 253 and he runs like that?! Sign him up! Without Burkhead in 2 years, who do we have to pound it into the endzone on the goal line? Marrow only has 1 year of eligibility right? If so, than this guys fills the gap once he's gone. Timing seems perfect to me....

GBR!

 
Get back to work HuskerBenny! HAHAHA! And you had to ask me if I ever went on huskerboard? You are funny my friend. Definitely agree this guy sounds like a keeper. Nice size and speed.
