Huskers lose out on another QB recruit
When it comes to recruiting quarterbacks, the Huskers have had no luck the past couple of years. Since signing Harrison Beck and Zac Taylor some time ago, they've been completely shut out.
Yesterday the situation got even worse when Jarrett Lee committed to LSU. Lee had become Bill Callahan's top target after Ryan Mallet earlier turned the Huskers down and committed to Michigan. Callahan and his staff spent an extraordinary amount of time and energy wooing Lee. He was given special treatment during the Spring game and a hoard of Nebraska coaches went down to his hometown in Texas during the month of May. It seemed like all the Nebraska attention was working and Lee had many good things to say about Nebraska during his interviews with recruiting analysts. The news was very positive for several weeks raising the hopes of Husker recruiting fanatics. Lee's Dad was even spotted wearing Nebraska gear. Then Lee took one trip to visit LSU and basically dumped Nebraska. Now there are a lot of broken hearts among those recruiting fanatics.
So it's back to the drawing board yet again for Bill Callahan who now must be getting desperate to find a quarterback willing to come to Lincoln to operate his West Coast Offense. The primary recruiting focus now switches to Lyle Moevao, a junior college quarterback at El Camino California Community College. Moevao has the grades to be able to enroll this fall if he chooses to do so and plans to take a visit to Lincoln the weekend of June 9. Moevao also has a scholarship offer from Oregon State and said he won't make any decision until after he has visited that school as well. Will Nebraska be spurned again? Stay tuned for further developments.
Moevao had good stats last year and was the top-rated junior college quarterback in California. The biggest knock on Moevao, however, is his size. He's only 6-foot tall and most colleges with a pro-style offense want someone taller so they can see the field and pick out receivers better.
