Rex Burkhead to Nebraska

Burkhead is a tough gamer and will do good things at Nebraska. I love how the kid plays... wish there had been some way the Horns could have taken him. I am pleased he is going to a good program like UNL and not lowly aggy. Good luck to him!
 
Husker fans are pretty excited that Burkhead chose NU. He'll be joining the much less heralded Euless Trinity RB Dontrayveous Robinson as the only RB's in NU's class this year. There is a kid out of FL that may be added on Wednesday but with the Burkhead commitment that's considered a longshot.

Nebraska now has 9 Texas kids in this recruiting class which I believe is the most we've had from the state since the 90's.

From Rivals:
Nick Ash OL 6-5 261 5.3 5.6 Keller, TX
Rex Burkhead RB 5-10 190 4.46 5.8 Plano, TX
Jesse Coffey OL 6-7 270 5.3 5.6 Denton, TX
Andrew Green DB 6-0 181 4.5 5.7 San Antonio, TX
Cody Green QB 6-4 220 4.6 5.8 Dayton, TX
Earnest Norman LB 5-11 220 4.58 5.7 Euless, TX
Thaddeus Randle DT 6-1 255 - 5.6 Galena Park, TX
Dontrayevous Robinson RB 6-1 215 4.5 5.5 Euless, TX
Chris Williams LB 6-0 230 4.52 5.8 Abilene, TX
 
Count me in the ranks glad he is going to a program with legit tradition and respect like Nebraska. He seems like a Husker type player, if that makes sense.

That aggy is upset makes it better.
 
I like Burkhead, and being a plano native I have seen him play a few times. He reminds me of Trey Newton. He is a little undersized to be ideal for college and does not have break away speed or great inside jukes. What he is is a solid RB with more heart than anything. He has a winning mindset and a nose for the endzone. Both of these kids came out of great high school programs where they scored lots of TDs. But Rex is not an ideal specimine for college football. Does that mean he wont be good, no. But it does mean there is some danger he won't ever carry more than 10 times a game.

I like the kid and wish him the best at Neb.
