Qvale's Future

[BuckyFootball08]

So according to Scout and Rivals.com Qvale took a 2 week roadtrip that included Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Iowa State. It's reported that he has already received offers from Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Iowa. I suppose you can't count out NDSU or Montana either. I can understand if no one wants to disclose any info, but any WIllistoner's have any info on where he's leaning towards?

If not, Congrats to him. Here's the article...

All I got to say is "GO BIG TEN..." The future is bright for Brent

[Spiritof76]

Go Brent

I can never understand why people, especially peers, don't "pull" for the players they play with and against over all the years to do well.

I have even heard coaches say "he's not that good, he's slow"...well that maybe explains why these guys are coaching high school football in North Dakota. Obviously Nebraska and Iowa State have seen something in him.

I hope he does well and is the next "big thing" in ND

[trackbbfan]

well said Spirit of 76!

[tellmeaboutit]

Qvale commits to Nebraska.

[Nodak Guy]

Qvale commits to Nebraska.

Congrats to him. Hopefully he can win a title there like Erstad did!

Qvale picks Cornhuskers
Brent Qvale said his decision of where to play college football was made as soon as the University of Nebraska made an offer.

“It felt like the perfect school for me,” said Qvale, a senior at Williston High School. “… When that popped up, I was pretty well set.”

On Saturday night, the 6-foot-7, 300-pound offensive tackle verbally committed to play for the Cornhuskers in 2009. Qvale can’t sign his national letter of intent until national signing day, Feb. 4 2009.

Qvale, a two-time Class AAA first team all-state selection, said his decision came down to Nebraska and Wisconsin.

Iowa, North Dakota State and Montana were also in the mix.

Qvale said he felt comfortable with the Nebraska coaching staff, especially associate head coach and offensive line coach Barney Cotton.

“I felt I fit in well down there (at Nebraska) and all the coaches and the program they’ve got set up, I really liked it all,” Qvale said.

He made his official visit to Lincoln, Neb., this week but attended Nebraska’s camp in early June.

Qvale said making a decision before the upcoming football season kicked off was a priority.

“It felt really good to get it over with,” Qvale said. “Now I can focus.”

qvale has more upside though being that he is 6'7" a lot of times big colleges will go after kids with big time potential not always kids who have a great high school career. i also think richard is in a great place for him the excell at ndsu.. there style of play fits him really well

[DukeBlueDevils2316]

well if he is not having a great high school career in north dakota, im curious to see how he does in the Big 12 at University of Nebraska

Maybe Brent playing with other guys his size will heighten the intensity and help him get better....

I was talking to one of the assistant coaches for Williston and he pointed out that Qvale runs a forty in the 4.8-4.9 range and has exceptional feet. I wish Brent the best of luck at Nebraska next year.

whatever he needs work with thats what they will help him with what they dont need to do is wait for him to grow, with the right coaching which he will they will be able to put everything together, some ppl are looking at what he is now and the neb coaches are looking at what he will be with some help kinda like a rusty old car that gets remodeled into a new flashy one

no doubt about it he has tremendious upside .... i cant make someone 6'7" 300+ ... you can teach and make all the other things but when there is someone that big out there someone is going to take a shot at him

[ballernation]

congrats to brent, maybe we will see him in the pros one day also

[DukeBlueDevils2316]

Somebody seems very jealous!

[Orr4]

doubt it

Do you have something against some from NORTH DAKOTA doing something that doesn't happen very often?

[DukeBlueDevils2316]

No, its just what i think, i still like seeing north dakota kids do well in big time colleges, but its just what i think, sorry im not making everyone happy with my opinion in these posts but if we wanted to make everyone happy lets all just meet somewhere and sing koom-by-yah around a campfire.

[sportsking09]

ok, dukebluedevils, since you are so jealous can you tell me why he wont make it in the pros, please enlighten me with your football knowledge. but the only reason i am guessing you are saying he wont is because you probably play against him in football and he probably pushes you up and down the field like a rag doll, but please tell me what is wrong with him that he will not make the pros!!

My two cents. I have been saying I think Qvale will go to a big school and go pro for awhile now, and it seems like no one ever agrees with me. I won't pretend to know a lot about football, but will someone with a lot of knowledge enlighten me on why he will or won't.

there is not reason he can't make the pro's... he has the size he will become strong enough and if what people say about his 40 is true he is fast enough.His potential is limitless its just how he goes about himself in college

[DukeBlueDevils2316]

He obviously has the size to play in the big 12 and the pros but i just dont think he dominates the high school level enough to make it that big.

[KyleJRM]

Dominating at the HS level has little to do with success later on. Just like guys who put up big numbers in college don't always turn into great pros.

The big schools, and the NFL, are looking at projectability. A 6'1", 240lb kid with great technique and footwork will dominate at offensive line in high school and have no chance at success later on.

The odds are against any high school kid when thinking about the pros. But when you are already the physical size and speed the pros are looking for, your chances go from "none" to "slim."

[14>35]

well put. and since im sure there is a 99% chance of a redshirt...his skills will only improve even more. its not like nebraska is throwing him in fresh out of high school.
