Do you think Rhule would have retained him if he though Raiola couldn't get the job done?
Ben Scott is N!
- Thread starter Headcard
- Start date
Probably Cornelius - unless of course he had decided to commit here. Then our resident analist would find his needle suddenly not moving for the guy.
Couple of things I really like about him:
1 - Versatile, it's said he could probably play any of the 5 positions on the OL.
2 - Lot's of Experience, he played so many snaps in so many games that he truly is a veteran player.
3 - Durable, it seems he played so many snaps and games that he doesn't suffer from the injury bug that has plagued so many of our OL talent.

Scott, who has two years of college eligibility remaining, has potential to be a day-one starter at either center or right tackle – two positions of need for Donovan Raiola’s unit.
Scott is a 6-foot-5, 310-pounder from Honolulu, Hawai'i – the same hometown as Raiola – who spent the past four seasons at Arizona State, where he started a combined 28 games, mostly at right tackle. After redshirting in 2019, Scott started four games at right tackle in 2020 as a redshirt freshman and then all 13 games in 2021. In 2022, Scott started 11 games at center as an elbow injury kept him out of the Sun Devils’ game against Oregon State.
Scott was a three-star recruit in Arizona State’s 2019 class. He played at talent-rich St. Louis High School in Honolulu.
With Trent Hixson moving on from the program and Justin Evan-Jenkins only having one season under his belt at Nebraska, the Huskers will be looking for a new center with experience in 2023. Scott may fit that role.
Scott could help out on the edge, too, as Bryce Benhart has seen his highs and lows at Nebraska. Tackle Hunter Anthony, who saw snaps at right tackle as well, has one season of eligibility left.
Scott's commitment gives Nebraska seven total transfers this month, adding to a class that has been hailed as one of the top-five transfer hauls in college football this cycle. He joins QB
Jeff Sims
(Georgia Tech) and RB/WR
Josh Fleeks
(Baylor) on offense, plus DL
Elijah Jeudy
(Texas A&M) and Florida transfers
Corey Collier Jr.
(safety),
Chief Borders
(OLB) and
Marco Ortiz
(longsnapper).
His addition marks 32 total players the Huskers will have announced as new members of the program: 21 high school signees, seven transfer additions and four walk-ons.
I wonder if Sean Callahan cleared that with “national” before he recorded that audio?
“My mom is from Nebraska and all of her family is in Nebraska,” Scott said. “They are all die-hard fans and already said they are going to every game. Out of high school, I really wanted to go to Nebraska and went to two years of camps with no success. 
“Now that I’ve grown in college I think that Lincoln is still the place I want to be. Right now I’m in Arizona where my parents are enjoying the holidays and training, so I’m ready when I get on campus for the next semester.”

Is he really from Hawaii? He wears Cabela's camo shirts and Bass Pro Shop hats, you'd think he was born and raised in the Midwest.
My wife and 5 kids are just a front.I’ve got no problem with it. Methinks thou protesteth too much
Not sure I’ve seen this mentioned yet, but his coach at ASU was/is none other than Mike Cavanaugh former Nebraska coach under Riley.
Yes, Rhule thinks last yr. wasn't indicative of Raiola's long-term performance potential. I question Coach Rhule's judgement in this case. Time will tell if I'm right (and others) or Coach Rhule
might be the most important pick up for next fall. Fills a critical need. Not sure how but they say he had two years left.
He does 2020 doesn’t count because of Covid.
