[Omaha-Husker]

He has finally been cleared by the NCAA.

Boom. Hell yes!

 

[Treand3]

3:47 mark. Oh--------My--------Gosh!

I just woke my kids from their nap with a "HOLY S**T!!!" watching that play. WOW!!!

Now I have to explain to their mother my kids learned to swear because of Husker football...

To late now. Shirt him.

I think there's still a very good chance he plays this year. The MLB job is open for next year and he seems like a strong contender for it, so it would be nice to get him some playing time if he's up for it.

Could be a monster on special teams too.

Any news on this guy? Do we know what is holding him up?

No word yet as of practice yesterday. Final step is in the NCAA's hands.

 

[ADS]

Really need this kid to be cleared by the NCAA, he is could be the steal of this class.

 

[Mavric]

You can hardly read anything about our defense without his name coming up. Me thinks he's going to be a stud - sooner rather than later.

Case in point:

The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder from South Jordan, Utah, also has been mentioned as a potential pass rusher off the edge.“I think he's going to be a very productive guy for us,” Pelini said during a Big Ten teleconference. “Has a lot of potential.”

Afalava, meanwhile, joins walk-on receivers Richard Wynne and Ishmail Jackson as those who did not travel for violating team rules. Pelini did not specify beyond that.
