looks like a very solid pickup and our 1st 3 star of the class! fits our system nicely being a duel threat guy. updated the main verbal thread with highlights as well

A few more tidbits:

did the QB's from Alabama, i.e. Jordan fall through? Also what happened to Sherfield from Danville?

Are we taking perhaps 2 QB's in this class since we didn't take any last year, or is this guy our QB of the future?

Me thinks with his size/speed, if he has a good senior year his offer list will grow.

Will be interesting to see if he makes it here.

Great get, though.

Probably Minnesota, Syracuse and NC State.

Sherfield just picked up a Purdue offer and said they have moved to the top of his list...

He's got some brains, so that's another plus.

Still somewhat suspicious, but congrats to what I hope will be our new future QB.

Suspicious of what?

This guy is a big time prospect. 3* Rivals rated 5.6. 4.55 40 yd. 3.9 GPA. Other offers include Harvard and Tulsa. I hope we can keep him.

That we can hold him to his verbal. Looks like a big time prospect. Highlight videos are impressive.

I agree - would be very surprised to see this guy in a Huskie uniform. One to hope for, not count on (just yet anyway).

Why can't people just be happy?

Sure he may receive other offers, it is still early in the recruiting process, but as of now he is a Huskie.

If he is a true dual threat then he understands that he picked a strong program and offense that will fit his skill set.

What does this Rivals article say?

Why not play for the Huskies? We all said that the Orange Bowl ought to allow the recruiting doors to swing open. Perhaps they are and if so we we should take advantage.

If he doesn't pull a Mitch Kimble 2014 QB race should be interesting!

I'm with epasnoopy. Enjoy it and hope that he signs in February. This was posted on twitter by a sports writer from Wichita yesterday...

Landon Root cited the coaches, location, last season's trip to the Orange Bowl and a perfect offense for his skill set.

Much better recruit than Kimble. And we should stop worrying , but be happy we landed a solid. **it happens when you go to the Orange Bowl.NIU is seen in a much different light
