I think he’s a lot bigger than Gifford so maybe more of a true hybrid LB/S than Giff. Definitely a much more dynamic athlete than Gifford and will be better in run support.

Would have been a good young guy to get. The only problem with McCollough is I think he only has one year left maybe two?

one, I believe. To me, this seems to be the right choice. We have some young guys developing.

McCullough has 1 year of eligibility. Sounds like OU tried him at their hybrid safety/linebacker spot and it didn't go great, but if he can bring something off the edge for us situationally that's a nice piece to add
Gotta play for the now not develop.
You’ll just get a new guy next year if one of your recruits don’t pan out

Word was he was asking for way too much money so if he would drop it to a more normal amount big schools would’ve taken him as a project.

Not sure if Nebraska "cooled" or not, but I think this kid would've been a liability vs. The run in the Big Ten.

I think with what we’ve got/will get, I doubt he was a major priority

Hopefully it wasn't one or the other. Would have preferred to take both and keep building depth. But it's hard to know what their board looks like maybe we'll pick up another one or wait until next cycle.

In the 'new world' IMO it does not make sense to have too many development guys who don't play in the near-term. The revenue sharing money share per player goes down; that cuts access to top tier players.

Tough to redshirt and develop certain positions. I think OL/DL you have to try and develop a pipeline of HS players and keep them in the program. Skill players, pass rushers, you have to find them, play them as true freshman, pay them big $ in the portal, whatever it takes.
