He likes defense but we're undecided if he'll be DE or TE. He said either is fine with him.

This one will be a take and figure his position out depending on who the staff gets. I personally like him at TE.

Good news. I have been hearing good things about Stille for a while. I say we take him as a kicker (56/63 PAT, 5/6 FG, 21 touchbacks) and try him at either TE or DE during a RS year to see where he fits. My thoughts after watching his film is he could be a hybrid TE but may be a better DE, given his natural pass rush ability. However, to become a solid D1 DE, he will have to develop some DE-specific moves (his highlights are of him only bull-rushing).

Done deal according to 24/7 guy on 1620. Plans to commit ASAP after he meets with coaches and gets the OK.

Good for him. Loving having the early Nebraska ring leader like Gifford and Decker the last two years.

When Derek Mason was at Stanford they would always recruit kids from the Midwest.
