McKewon: Three takes on edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen committing to Nebraska

A spotlight movie – and stat sheet – that pops off the display. Umanmielen had 47 tackles for loss and 21 sacks over his final two seasons at Manor, and, to look at his highlights is to see a man that simply sort of toys with offensive linemen, operating round them or by gaps unabated to the ball carriers. He’s faster than the man throughout from him, is the factor, and he’s usually sooner than the operating backs and quarterbacks he’s making an attempt to run down. Nebraska’s going to need to form his skillset a little bit bit – you don’t simply run round Huge Ten tight ends and tackles – however there’s a purpose he’s a four-star recruit.

His brother factors to the potential collegiate manufacturing. Princely Umanmielen is three years older and simply had a giant yr at Florida, posting 38 tackles, 8½ tackles for loss and 3½ sacks as a redshirt sophomore. Nebraska would take that from Princewill in three years; NU will hope for that from Jimari Butler and/or Blaise Gunnerson subsequent yr. Princewill has to placed on weight, like his brother – now 245 kilos – did for the Gators.

Considered one of Rhule’s higher recruiting tales. The person loves recruiting in Texas, and, on this specific journey, he ate a standard Nigerian meal – at Umanmielen’s mom’s restaurant – that included fufu, a doughy facet dish that goes properly with soups and sauces. Meals is a giant a part of recruiting – coaches eat plenty of home-cooked meals in December and January – and Rhule in all probability had certainly one of his greatest on the recruiting path.
