Heading into his senior year of high school...Tyler Gabbert, younger brother of Blaine Gabbert, is a solid verbal for Nebraska's 2010 recruit class. Oregon and quite a few others pursued this kid hard. Rumor is he emailed Cal and told them not to bother contacting him, what with Jake Heaps headed that way and all. :mrgreen:

Here's hoping he doesn't defect ala big bro Blaine.

Blaine bolted when BC was on the outs and the future of Watson(who has a good relationship with the Gabberts) was in plenty of doubt. Pelini and Watson are secure so the scenarios are different. I guess Watson could get a job offer after the season but from what I've been told he's holding out for something pretty good.

Tyler doesn't have Blaine's size but he's a polished qb and a hell of a competitor, I see him as a Todd Reesing type.

I hear you on the size difference, but keep in mind he's only a junior in HS. He might add a couple inches next year and a couple more by the time he's a senior in college. Not to mention the training table and workouts. I hope Watson sticks around 3 to 4 more years. I think by then, Pelini will have the Huskers vying for an MNC.
