Dartmouth is a good sign. I like my QBs smart.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
Welcome to Cole Payton!
Interesting comment here from the Lincoln Journal Star sports guy:
Quote:
Ron Powell
@ronpowell_ljs
The Westside junior and top returning quarterback in the state next season commits to the defending FCS national champions.
Interesting as in Nebraska just offered Heinrich Haarberg, Kearney Catholic’s QB
Good year for QB’s in the Cornhusker state!
TJ Urban - Millard South’s QB - also has multiple offers - Air Force, SDSU, Illinois State, Western Illinois, Fighting Hawks
Ron Powell’s article on Cole Payton commit to NDSU:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/journal...a132d.amp.html
Quote:
Payton, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound left-hander, is the top returning high school quarterback in the state this coming fall. He led Westside to the Class A state championship game a year ago by rushing for 872 yards and 15 touchdowns and completing 60 percent of his passes for 1,986 yards and 24 TDs.

so besides Esley any other NDSU leftys?

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
You'd think a lack of Lefty QBs would have more to do with elite prospects going to chase the money playing baseball than not being able to play the position.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
Welcome to QB U Cole. Hopefully we can get you drafted some day too :welcome:

Multiple, but that isn't the point.
You said no snaps, you were wrong. Don't move the goalpost.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
A couple of interesting nuggets as he committed on the spot once the offer was made.
He was getting interest from a couple of D1s for being a possible linebacker prospect as he must be a very good athlete but he committed to NDSU because he wanted to play QB.
We had an offer out to a teammate Cade Haberman - who selected Northern Illinois a couple weeks ago.
https://www.hudl.com/profile/9248746/Heinrich-Haarberg - this one of the other QBs in Nebraska who just got an offer from Huskers. Fun to compare the two.

I appreciate that he wants to play QB and we will give him the chance. But if/when he gets beat out, he’s gonna be a helluva linebacker. To my scouting eye, his arm talent is mediocre but his athleticism is top notch.

He got into the 2011 Championship Game for a snap or two after Brock got his bell rung on a play. Brock either came back in after one play or for the next series, I don't recall exactly when. And recall Esley moved from the QB position not because he couldn't play it or wouldn't have been successful, he just had the misfortune of having a No. 2 overall draft choice a year behind him and would have continued to be the No. 2 QB. He just wanted to play and we were better as a team because of it. I wonder if he has a shot at the NFL as a linebacker if he comes in as a LB from day 1?

Where have we seen this before? How has that worked out for us in the past? :biggrin:

"With his athleticism and ability to run, he had some interest from FBS schools as a linebacker.
“I’m a quarterback,” he said, “and NDSU believes in me as a quarterback.”
Payton is the third Westside player in the 2021 class to commit to a Division I school, following Avante Dickerson (Minnesota) and Cade Haberman (Northern Illinois)."

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
QB Cole Payton had a workout day with an all-world TE recruit, Thomas Fidone (Council Bluffs IA Lewis Central)
Quote:
Sean Bock
@SBock247
I should also mention that Omaha Westside QB and North Dakota State commit @ColePayton9 is a dog.
One of the most underrated QB's in the 2021 class nationally. Every throw he made today during the workout was clean.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
Cole looks to be the next great Bison QB. Wow, he puts the ball right where it needs to be every time. Wish NDSU had a chance to get the TE in the video (maybe since he appreciated Cole's throws so much he will follow Cole......wishful thinking). 6'5", good frame at 225 lbs and great hands. NDSU needs some incoming 6'5" or 6'6" TE's. Amazed how many recent TE recruits are only 6'3" and 6'4". Entz and Roehl must be more focused on blocking. Our 6'6" TE's right now are awesome, but they are both juniors (Gindorff and Babicz)!

I agree. I think we lose perspective on the size of a lot of college and NFL QB's because we always see them around the monsters on their teams. Stand them next to Average Joe, and we see it more clearly.

Thought the same thing when I met him at Costco a while back. Absolutely jacked and you’d ever know it otherwise.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
I'm not sure what it is. Our guys always seem to look smaller than they are. Lance looks 5' 10" and 185, rather than his true 6' 3" and 225 or so. Our tackles never look like their true 300+ pound frames.
Maybe I should start wearing green and gold consistently, to look a little slimmer.

It was/is a very good year for high school QB’s in Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers already have a QB commit in

Let the cherry picking begin. With all the attention NDSU is getting lots of P5 teams will be looking to steal our recruits away. Total BS, but doubt Cole would give up QB to play LB. Looks like Nebraska is just as bad at evaluating in state talent as Minnesota (wanted Trey to play DB). Excerpt from above 247 article:
Nebraska is very interested in Payton — but where would the Huskers recruit this jumbo athlete, that looks every bit like a Tim Tebow for Westside? The initial thought is linebacker. At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, Payton is tough as hell. He seeks contact. He seeks action. The Bison got a hell of a player and one 247Sports should reevaluate at some point.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
He threw for a TD, rushed for a TD, and caught a pass for a TD in that 42-0 win.
Couldn't find a box score but I doubt he completed more than 5 passes.

It must be that their recruiting has fallen off. If these private schools don't tap into the public school's talent pool, this is what happens.

Re: 2021 Verbal: Cole Payton
Creighton Prep’s AJ Rollins - 6’ 6” 220 - TE/DL - 2021
just committed to Nebraska.
Teammate Alex Bullock - 6’ 2” 180 - WR/DB/ATH
Has a SDSU offer, others are paying attention.
But Omaha Westside has several FBS recruits, in addition to the FCS commit QB - including the top-ranked prospect in Nebraska for 2021 - Avante Dickerson (CB/WR 5’ 11” 165, Minnesota Gopher commit)
Another Westside player - Koby Bretz (6’ 2” 185 - DB)
also just committed to Nebraska. Klieman & Co were in good shape recruiting Bretz for awhile, but he waited to see if the Cornhuskers would offer, they finally did and byebye KState.
