homer Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The more you see on this kid the more impressive his early commitment is. Just named to the preseason Metro Dream team by MN Football Hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If he does become Mr. Football it would be interesting to see if we can hang on to him. If he has that type of year, its safe to say some bigger schools come knocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What? Why? That's kind of a wierd thing to say. You just don't see white corners at the FBS level. That's a good thing for us in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite a bit different though. Actually, it's totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 That's quite a bit different though. Actually, it's totally different. Same theory different sport. If a player is good people are going to recruit them. People may shy away cause of height or speed not because of the color of thier skin. In this case if speed is a concern they'll convert him to safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Think outside the box peopleYes, statistically you are right. Most corners are black in FBS. I'm saying is talent is talent regardless of skin color. FBS coaches take most Mr. Football's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd1sufan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yes, statistically you are right. Most corners are black in FBS. I'm saying is talent is talent regardless of skin color. FBS coaches take most Mr. Football's. NDSU has gotten 2 or 3 MN Mr. Football's in the last 5 or 6 years. Maybe FBS schools think he is a step slow to play CB, which is good for UND. My guess you have nothing to worry about if G5 schools come knocking. i think he realizes that isn't much of a step up. The only ones I would worry about is if the Gophers or Badgers come to their senses. He looks like a good get for Bubba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LkvlleUNDFan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The last few MN Mr. Football winners are:2014 - Robbie Grimsley - NDSU Free Safety2013 - Jeff Jones - U of M WR2012 - Bridgeport Tusler - 1 year at SDSU, now at DIII Bethel University - RB2011 - Phillip Nelson - Former U of M, Rutgers, now South Alabama QB2010 - Peter Westerhaus - U of M LB Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2013 and is listed on the roster, but will not play and did not see action2009 - Zach Vraa - NDSU WR2008 - Varmah Sonie - Northern Iowa DB - Signed by the Cleveland Browns in February, waived in May of this year. Spent 2014 playing for the Portland Thunder.So... Mr. Football is certainly no guarantee of FBS status, and really no guarantee of college success at any level - at least lately.

gundy1124 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 it's a good thing he's whiteWhat? this does a lot to your credibility on any blog.Let's not get hypersensitive here. I took it as a little tongue in cheek but based off current dogma. Not a big deal. I chuckled about it. I hope the kid has a smoking year and follows thru with his commitment.

Mama Sue Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 In any sport, or profession, at any level, awards can go to people's heads. Sometimes a MR Football has a had time becoming just one of the guys and waiting his turn in line to play. Sometimes it is the player, or employee, you just take a chance on that outshines everyone. Just life!A Mr. Football would be a great addition but then many students are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he never really got a shot with South Alabama, but he's now a walk-on at East Carolina. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25262618/ex-minnesota-rutgers-qb-philip-nelson-walks-on-at-east-carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
