I hope we get to play them in the post-season

I asked this in the portal thread because we seem to be up in arms over OT, probably should have posted it in this thread. Whats the word on Grant Brix? Seems like a dude that was so highly sought after and now its ghost town. With all the injuries at OT you would think you would hear his name brought up atleast once?

Rhule said his name today

Rhule likes what he’s seen from NU’s offensive line​

***Rhule said Elijah Pritchett still had a lot of work to do, but he had all the talent in the world. Pritchett is still adjusting to new life at Nebraska, but Rhule’s message was that he better get used to that type of change before he gets to the NFL.

Rhule said Pritchett was “willing and eager” and put in the work on the field and in the classroom. “He should get better and better and better.”

***Tyler Knaak is having a great spring and is really coming along at left tackle. Rhule said Knaak embodied everything he wanted the program to be about.

***Rhule added that as soon as Grant Seagren “decides he’s a scholarship player,” the sky is the limit for him. He’s got all the talent to be a starter, Rhule said, but he just needed to put it in his mind that he’s a starter.

***Rhule said others like Grant Brix, Brock Knutson, and Preston Taumua had all flashed at tackle this spring.

I think we'll start hearing more about Brix next spring. He came from a pretty low level of Cockeye football and had really not pass-blocked much in his life before college. He is facing much better talent and had to learn a great deal. Every school that recruited him knew he was going to take time to develop.

He’s in the spring of his true freshman year, right? I don’t care how highly rated you were, if we’re hearing or counting on freshman on the OL, something has gone wrong.

It’s the Nebraska way. Fans can’t accept that linemen should not be expected to contribute right away in the same fashion a WR or RB would be. See also:

he’s a rFR, but your point remains. It’s amazing that our fan base has seen us consistently fuck over young, highly rated OL by playing them too early, yet still ask why the next young, highly rated OL isn’t in the mix yet.

We’re getting back to dudes developing for two years then making some noise the spring of their rSO season. That’s a good thing!

I wouldn’t mind putting a bitch slapping on the Noles

I really don't think FSU has a chance at the playoffs this season.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

So does that mean he's going to play even less snaps than he did at Nebraska?

NFL talent with a pee wee background

Apparently general inquiries arent acceptable? We RSS now? No other schools start rFR or sophomore OT? Or serve in reserve rolls?

Brix I knew was looking to take a couple seasons (think he even said ideally would be starting rSO year) but you usually flash atleast something if we are as thin at OT as we are lead to believe. We have only heard all spring that there are no bodies at OT but we’ve got atleast 5 in the last couple freshman classes. Feet slow has to move to guard? No progress reports in Spring, got it.

On3 always projected Brix as an IOL in college. Some of the schools he visited, like Notre Dame, told him he was an IOL or a swing lineman (about the same as saying you are an IOL). He pretty much dropped the schools which didn't see him as an OT. I still think it is possible he ends up as a guard before it's all over.

Only a RS freshman. Gotta give him time
