SIGNED: RB Collins Okafor

New Okafor Video

He is impressive. Looks like a patient runner who has a great burst when he sees daylight. Gets to and turns the corner well. Doesn't appear to be as physical as I would have thought, but it's only one tape.

I think it would be easier to teach the kid to be more physical than to improve his field vision.

Thats a trait you either have or you dont. Very difficult to train someone to do.

hell yeah!

Okafor get's 4 :star from BRR.

 

[BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA]

#296 on their top 300. I'm sure he will improve on that with his performance this year because he will be more experienced. Didn't he first pick up a football just a couple years ago?

 

[husker rob]

he is going to be a good one from what i can see

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know the correct pronunciation of Okafor? Is it a long or short O at the beginning? Is it a long or short A in the middle?

I've heard it as OAK-A-FOUR (short A in the middle)

OHkuhfer? Maybe that's just lazy and not really correct

Drop the e and insert an o and I think you got it.

Another one of our commits who comes a bit closer to reaching that 4th star on Rivals. Was bumped from his 5.6RR to now a 5.7RR for Collins.

Gray is more touted , but I think Collins is going to be a damned fine College player for us. A possible sleeper.

I think we have learned from the past year or two now that you need multiple RBs in the program...

That's right, you can never have enough good RB's considering this years situation. Sh*t happens.

i go to school with Collins and blocked for him back in his freshman year. he's tough to tackle and if you get the right blocking then he can break it loose into the secondary and get beyond that too. just wait to see him against Prep and against Millard North this year. then he'll have some tough defense to go against and he'll show why he's gonna be awesome. Westside will win state this year behind Okafor's running and an awesome defense.

USC, I love Okafor and glad he's gonna be a Husker, but I think State is Millard West's to lose, they are beating up some good teams right now... including the prep team you mentioned.
