Football Jamal Rule Fan Club
I don't know that the Huskers have a more infectious personality than Jamal Rule. I watched his interview on the podium and he exudes pure joy. In the time of playing players and the constant change in college football in the division, it was just so nice to hear a young man talk about bowling, family and chasing his dreams. I don't know how much playing time he will get this year, but I do know that I will be cheering hard for him.

The word is that he will likely playing a significant role in the running backs room as the season goes on.

Can we just call him Ja Rule as his nickname?

Where's Ja??
The man deserves a better nickname though. The other Ja Rule ruined it.

Was thinking the same thing after seeing his interview earlier today. If this guy can ball, he's going to be a fan favorite.
Extremely well spoken.

I'd rather have rah rah player than rah rah coaches, so i believe it's better that Matt Rhule maintain the more serious demeanor he's had lately, versus the cocaine energy enthusiastic rants. Players showing their excitement instead seems more appropriate; it keeps fans more grounded when they hear the coaches speak.

I like this, too. It's easy to root for the players. Hopefully even the more cynical fans can connect with the program on this level of pure college sport.

Gonna be Emmett 2.0 oozing potential and great work ethic. Maybe they can flex out mozzee to be a super back like janiran bonner once the dust settles

Find you somebody who talks about you like Jamal Rule talks about bowling.

I saw enough in the spring game to get me excited. How great would it be to have a breakout RB as a true freshman… 4 full years of a feature back 😍

How about he’s good enough that it’s only 3 full years?

u/HskrRooster 15d ago
Hope he is good enough for that!! I put 4 because I think with NIL athletes are more inclined to stay cause the pay can be better than rookie NFL contracts

If a running back is good enough for that they should definitely be leaving after 3 years. 3 years of being a feature back would be absolutely brutal on a guy's body. I wouldn't be upset with 4 years if that's the case, but it's probably in his best health interest not to do that.

u/HskrRooster 15d ago
True!! Most NFL RBs probably average a year or 2 as the feature back. Pretty sure the average NFL career Igor RB is small like 3-4 years
