"Horner said NDSU plans to use him as a running back and on special teams both on returns and in kick coverage."

This is the second time I've heard that NDSU is recruiting in Michigan - turns out that both times were for the same player.

According to Michigan Preps (a Rivals.com site), Nathaniel "Nate" Williams, a 6'2, 270 lb, DE fom New Haven, Michigan, has been invited to NDSU for a visit. Also according to that site and scout.com, he already has offers from Colorado, Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Miami (OH), and Indiana State.

Edit: Found more on scouts and rivals. Saw video of him doing 30 reps of 225. He played MLB as a sophomore (144 tackles and was named the outstanding linebacker at Michigan's camp that summer) and was switched to DE his junior year when he got up to a solid 250. As a senior, he played at 6'2 260 and is pretty fast (4.78 40). According to rivals.com the rap on him is that he is a bit too short and his school is small so his level of competition wasn't that great. They project him as being a DT or OG.

scouts and height, what a bunch of morons.

Agbetola v. Wheelwright

I'll take spit over height any day.

i heard that jarid jackson a teammate of sam maresh (goph's commit) has an offer from ndsu to play LB.

No he does not have an offer as of yet from the Bison. They are showing some interest, but not ready to offer.

I got to see our recruit, Hakeem Bourne-McFarlane, in person last night at the vikings game. He's a good size kid, and he should make a great addition to our WR crew. He made the Vikings all-minnesota high school team and they were honored at halftime.

I've heard he has good upside to really develop into a nice player at the college level...I hope they offer him soon.
