Did we know he was having an 'unofficial' this week? Has to be at least decent news that he is here now and then coming on Junior Day.

Not sure why Danny Woodhead supports us after we turned him down. He must be a great dude.

Bc hanging out at chadron state on saturdays isn’t cool and if he pretends to be a Husker he can likely stand on our sidelines.

It’s no surprise that the Huskers are hosting Texas prospects early and often with the focus the team is placing on the state. Pyle has heard a lot about what Rhule is building in Lincoln which has him excited to visit.

“I’m looking forward to meeting the entire staff and seeing the new facilities that are being built,” Pyle said. “I can’t wait to see the true meaning of GBR!”

Pyle told me that he has a great relationship with Huskers’ offensive line coach Donovan Raiola. He loves Raiola so far and the pair has been on FaceTime quite a bit. Pyle is looking forward to sitting down in person and talking ball with the coach.

After his trip to Nebraska the lineman will be busy. March 10 weekend he will go to Northwestern, then Arizona State followed by a trip to Boston College. He’s also looking at spring visits to UNC, Duke, Cal and Stanford.

As Pyle sorts through his 23 scholarship offers this will be a big spring for him to see which schools rise to the top. He told Inside Nebraska what he’s most looking for in a school.

“I’m looking for a great education, a great coaching staff, and a place I can make a difference,” Pyle said.

I don’t know anything about the situation other than what I’ve read here, but I think Hall will end up a Husker IF we have space for him when he’s ready to commit. No way he turns down playing with Raiola.

The path to Nebraska for Brock Knutson

What do your Nebraska ties mean to you?

“Ever since I was little it was just everything Husker football. We didn’t go to any other professional games or any other college games. You really didn’t have a choice. If you weren’t a Husker fan, you weren’t a part of the Knutson family.”

“I’m sitting in my grandpa’s man cave and there’s Husker stuff everywhere. The tablecloth is Huskers. There’s pictures of Tommie Frazier, Scott Frost, Tom Osborne everywhere. There’s a bunch of signed memorabilia and a football signed by the ’95 championship team. There’s all kinds of stuff.”

“I’ve never done anything besides Huskers.”

What did you think when Matt Rhule told the media about his first call to you?

“I just kinda laughed because at the time, I really didn’t think anything of it. The first impression of the guy, I loved him. He’s like, ‘What do you think about me being hired?'”

“Then I was like, ‘Well, I don’t really care. Like, I’m going to Nebraska to play for Nebraska. If you’re gonna be here, I’m gonna be all in with you and we’re going to the top,’.”

Tell us about your journey through the offer, visiting, and committing.

“I was really highly considering Cockeye State before Nebraska offered me, because before that they weren’t really talking to me that much. I went to the spring game and coach Frost offered me. I always wanted to play there so it was just a straight line from there.”

“I was kinda hiding it. I was hiding it from my dad the whole time and I was kinda freaking him out. I was like, ‘Yeah I don’t know, I’m kinda feeling out of state,’ just to keep him on edge. I committed on my official visit and I didn’t even tell anyone in my family that I was committed that day.”

“We were in coach Frost’s office when I committed and my dad was just shocked. Everyone in my family was blown away. Even if I didn’t go to Nebraska, I would still wear red on Saturdays.”

Was there anything about Nebraska that surprised you on your visit?

“I was surprised how long it took them to offer me. That was like my last offer.”

What do you look forward to the most when it comes to your life as a Husker?

“Coach Rhule texted us on New Year’s Day and told us that our goal while we’re there is to get the program turned around and back to where it was in the 90s. So hopefully we can get that done, win some conference championships and maybe a couple bowl games.”

What is the plan for year one?

“I’m probably going to redshirt the first year. Bigger, faster, stronger are my goals for next year. Get more developed, grow, learn the playbook, and get a better understanding of the coaches and how they work. I think that would be super beneficial having that year in there. Hopefully see some playing time in there, too.”

Favorite part about Lincoln that isn’t on campus?

“I’ll probably say the Haymarket and the Railyard is pretty cool, too.”

What position will you play?

“I’m thinking offensive tackle.”

What number do you want to wear?

“Brant Banks entered the transfer portal so hopefully I can get 74.”

 

[Fargo Husker]

Oh great, now we get to repeat the “This is why I would tell him to pick Stanford over Nebraska” conversation that happens every single time in this situation.
