So the question is, is this kid a backup plan in case we miss on Braxton Clark or Taiyon Palmer? Or did we legit uncover a diamond and he's now part of plan A?
 




Abdullah was a composite four star per 247 who had a offers from the likes of Clemson and Texas A&M. Just overlooked as a running back recruit not as an athlete.
I always chuckle at the myth which has developed around Ameer. To hear Husker fans tell it, he only has one leg and played 4-man football in the backwoods of Alabama only to be unearthed by the mighty Huskers.

Um, no. As you said, he was a highly regarded recruit . . . as a DB. We were simply the only school that offered as a running back.

True but he was arguably a top three running back his senior year.

He was a 24/7 4*, but not a composite 4*. His composite was 3*.

24/7 was the only service that had him at 4*.
 



Welcome aboard!

Any insight on why he isn't rated by the recruiting services? Looks like he has lots of FCS offers.
His height is probably the main thing, but it would be foolish to discount him for that. McGill-Toolen produced Ito Smith a few years ago, and his lack of height was a knock on him with the big schools. Their loss: he went on to have an outstanding career at RB for Southern Miss and will be in the Senior Bowl here in Mobile.
