SIGNED RB Adam Taylor

[NU jumper alum]

big backs are coming back in style...Penn State, OSU, Iowa, etc. This guy will fit right in

 

[girlknowsfootball]

He's a true 6'2" 206.... that's a big RB!

 

[EZ-E]

Adrian Peterson

 

[Haspula]

He's a true 6'2" 206.... that's a big RB!

he might end up being 6'1 or 6'0. Seems like every prospect always is 1-2 inches less than there height listed on rivals (From 2012 westerkamp,michael rose, mcmullen, leroy alexander, moss, whitaker). Everyone other than whitaker and rose where off by 2 inches.

I am excited to see this guy play but I would def love to have one more back this recruiting class!!!

 

[HuskerHacker]

I'm hoping we red shirt Taylor and say Kemp. Our IB depth offers us this luxury right now.

Taylor's size

Kemp's shiftiness

Red Shirt the two as well as Johnny and set ourselves up for years of title runs... (Bo and Staff are doing things right, building depth so we don't rebuild, we reload and the players being recruited deserve some accolades for being patient and trusting the staff.)

Great to be a Husker isn't it?

Adrian Peterson

My first thoughts when I watched his film, as well.

That's probably not a big deal. 6-2 is getting fairly tall for a RB. Closer to 6-0 wouldn't be a problem at all.

I wouldn't mind that at all

There's nothing wrong with short running backs. If they're built right, they're very difficult to tackle. Maurice Jones-Drew is a good example. I've seen him light up some pretty big linebackers before. 6' even is a decent height for a RB though.

I've that he is actually closer to 6'1 and not 6'2

If a RB is 5'9" like Abdullah, he is easier to get lost behind blockers and spring free. Barry Sanders did the same thing.

 

[HuskerHacker]

yes but don't get too enumerated in height.

Consider, Hershal Walker, Eric Dickerson, Marcus Allen, Eddie George, just to name a few. This kid (AT) is a skilled and accomplished back within the highest level of High School competition in the country. I'm elated knowing he gave his verbal to doNU.

 

[ADS]

This kid reminds me alot of Chris Brown from Colorado. The Chris Brown that ran for 10 touchdowns against a Craig Bohl defense.

Didnt MJD light up Terrell Suggs on a goal line play?
