TE Darien Bryant*

[girlknowsfootball]

Darien looks to have the size what are his strong suits?

He blocks extremely well... has pancakes in high school.

He is fast for his size as well. Coaches said he reminds them of Kyler Reed with his speed and ball skills.

Is that it for TE's, I believe four spots left or three

Probably is BUT I'd like to see another. With Ryan Hill not returning next year, that leaves NU with only three scholly TEs. Only two of those have played being Kyler and Ben. JT Herr is looking like another tragic reach of a scholly who may never see the field. The drop off after Ben and Kyler is tragic. Hopefully someone any from the roster of mostly unknowns can step up next year to help provide more depth. NU actually had a lot of success this year when they lined up 3 TE's(the third being McNeil) and went the power route.

jake long, a freshman walk-on from elkhorn, got some time this year. mychael mcclure (another walk-on) has also supposedly showed well, so i wouldn't be surprised to see him on the field next year. i'm intrigued by 6'8 freshman walk-on robert barry as well, but haven't heard anything about how he's looked.

a good TE prospect was definitely a need in this class, so this is an important commit, but i don't think we'll take two. too many needs elsewhere and we've got some walk-ons that appear capable of at least providing depth.

Bo Pelini was the only head coach who came to visit him in his home. I guess that sold him right there.

Great news, welcome Mr. Bryant.

decommited

 

[Rep The 402]

Already?jeeze.

 

[HuskerNMO]

Hasn't ruled us out, but feels like he jumped the gun a bit and wants to make sure.

based off his article on scout. it sounds like we were head and shoulders over everyone. i dont understand his reason

 

[Red Tape]

This kind of thing rarely ends in our favor (although Stafford looks to be on the right track)

 

[T-Husker]

Woah! This is awesome, but it's totally unexpected and out of the blue! He was just saying yesterday that he was reevaluating everything and that it was so confusing in who to pick... makes me wonder if his commitment is going to stay solid.

Wow, you called it.

 

[EZ-E]

We are pursuing Peterson and Bryant both very hard.

It appears they like to have the cotton/reed combo.
