Naijiel Hale sells Couch

Tanned rested and ready to rumble

This was always a strange recruit for our church school.

Was he good last year? I don't recal, which makes me hope this isn't a big loss.

IMO he was door.ass.out after the long TD in the UCLA game where I believe Budda blew the coverage and Hale got torched deep because he was expecting a safety back to help him out. Instead of running out the play and taking the beef to the sideline he stopped on the play and was yelling at Budda on the field.
 
At least he is being Nebraska classy about it.

I would like to announce that I will be taking my football career elsewhere and thank the university of Washington for everything they've taught me. I Thank you coach Lake and Coach Peterson for being there for me and understanding everything that I go through. Nobody in this world will understand my life yet I'm still moving forward. I'm so thankful to play and start many games as a True Freshmen in the PAC-12 and those memories will stick with me forever. New chapter ahead.... Ride with me
 
So the depth at CB is now:

Jones
Gardenhire
King (nickel)
Lewis
Joyner
Miller

Be curious how they use King now that they're transitioning him from safety. I'm eager to see how Gardenhire continues to perform after his outstanding spring.

It also sounds like Gardenhire jumped Hale on the depth chart during the spring. My guess is Joyner definitely plays now (he was probably going to already) and King definitely doesn't take a Brostek-redshirt

Yeah, Gardenhire was at the other CB spot opposite Jones all spring and had 9 INTs in the spring, including the 100-yard return for a TD in the spring game.

Hale leaving impacts depth since he was the #3 CB on the team (and Kelly was the #4). I'm guessing King will be the #3 CB (and #1 nickel) with Lewis, Joyner, and Miller are vying for the #4 and #5 CBs spots. Wouldn't be surprised to see Joyner and Miller both play, especially if injuries occur.
 
Pete really hates CB's

Is he the 4th or 5th one he has kicked off?
 
Hale showed some okay flashes. could have been good. Or he could have sucked. Either way it would have been interesting. Need more Dbs. Our depth really took a hit over the last year.
