SIGNED - OT Chris Walker

[Atbone95]

Also, this staff has been recruiting Chris for a while, and I'm sure watched him play all year - he visited for a game on September 3rd and he plays 10 blocks from campus. If this is who the staff feels is the next best man, I'll take him.

This dude is 275 of straight muscle. You guys are sick of fat linemen... Sam and Sean were joking in September that this guy could be the first guy off the bus for our team right now. I'll see if I can find the pic they used.

Here's his commit though. Doesn't look like your typical lineman - this guy looks mean.

Add on 20 pounds and call it good.

BTW if you'd like an interesting take on the offer look at some of the comments on his offer lol.

No offense to Chris, but was he really the next Olineman on the board? That ain't good.

After Foster and Chuck, yes. Unless they wanna make a late run at Blaise the Minnesota commit.

They should really do that.
Or get creative. Having this as a backup plan either means they are really bad at backup planning or they thought they had Sarrell.

Just watching Walker's Hudl, he isn't very mobile. Statuesque, to be kind.

Meh

Visit set up for the 20th

So he doesn't have an offer yet? Maybe not a comittable one?

He was offered by us last night.

So this kid camped with us and was never even asked to walk on, or maybe come on as a preferred walk on and now all of a sudden he's getting offered?

 

[NM11046]

Don't know about WO status, but I think the scolly offer came when we learned for sure last night that Filaga and Sarrell were not coming to Lincoln.

With the cost of college, a lot kids would rather get a free ride than walk on at the U. Times have changed!

Offering a kid a walk-on offer while he's committed to a decent D1 program is a bit of a slap in the face, if you ask me. It wasn't like he was committed to the FCS.

Seems like a mistake not to have recruited him as a preferred walk-on before. It worked out for him in the end though. Hope he joins the Huskers.

Kid has the ability and motor. Needs some time developing his technique and his body. This kid is a project with a ton of upside. I, for one, would love to see him at NU.

fwiw, i think he would make a great DE

I'm gonna laugh when he sticks to his commitment to Wyoming.
