Here’s what his hs coach said about him (emphasis mine): “He is a very twitchy athlete, especially for his size. His side to side agility is on another level. He plays with controlled violence and commits a lot of time and effort to his technique.”
Sounds like a Lber!! I’m serious when I say this… I know with all the accolades our linebackers have got you guys are gonna think I’m ridiculous but I’m assuming…
Meaning hoping against hope that finally the offense clicks to at least an average degree…
This is a sensational defense (of which we know defense) and we have 10 deep on the D line. I think we have that many deep @ defensive back, maybe deeper. I mean we’ve ultimately proved that for years!
We do not have very much proven depth behind those linebackers!!!
This talent on defense has been building for several years now… Homer has alluded to our defensive recruiting and just generally targeting a better athlete & frame!!
For a program going back to Hayden Fry…..that generally prides themselves on hard nose defense!
This is one of our best and our athleticism has consistently improved to a top five, top 10 level! I don’t just mean football players I mean these guys can run and play in space!
We honestly need a couple more proven linebackers; this spring may have gone a long way to helping us in that regard? I’m sure the coaches probably thought that as well!!
It seems like Higgins is the real deal and I don’t have a bunch of concern with him and then I found it interesting that Sharar Karson*sp, another late addition, lightly recruited Iowa athlete, is on the expanded 2-deeps…but I’m not sold on Logan Klemp or Kyle Fisher!?
