There are exceptions, like Eric Dickerson for one. Marty Kauffman, the head coach at Omaha (Nebr.) Westside speaks highly of Collins Okafor and even compares him to Dickerson. Both are up-right running backs that run tough and can make the long runs. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/730965.html 2047 Bryan Munson http://nebraska.scout.com/2/730965.html Fri, 22 Feb 2008 02:23:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska The Oklahoma Sooners had the clear cut best class in the Midland region, but there were a number of other school nipping at their heels. In this feature Scout.com analyst Greg Powers ranks the Top 5 programs in the region and how they did on the recruiting trail. http://recruiting.scout.com/2/727792.html 2047 Greg Powers http://recruiting.scout.com/2/727792.html Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:56:00 GMT 0 73 Football Recruiting recruiting Hear Collins Okafor talk about reaffirming his pledge to the Huskers, his experiences with head coach Bo Pelini and just about his future as he is once again, a member of the big red. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/720020.html 2047 Steve Ryan http://nebraska.scout.com/2/720020.html Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:09:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska Any recruit wants to know what’s going on with a school in which they have interest. If you are a commit, and the school currently doesn’t have a head coach, amplify that interest by about a thousand. Omaha Westside running back Collins Okafor is waiting with eager anticipation. But a recent phone call certainly helped. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/706776.html 2047 Steve Ryan http://nebraska.scout.com/2/706776.html Fri, 30 Nov 2007 03:09:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska There was definitely a little surprise or shock in the voice of Collins Okafor from Omaha (Nebr.) Westside when it came to their playoff run. Westside, loaded with talent, made a first round exit. Okafor spoke to Big Red Report about the season, the disappointment of the first round loss and of course about recruiting with an emphasis on Nebraska. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/698870.html 2047 Bryan Munson http://nebraska.scout.com/2/698870.html Wed, 07 Nov 2007 02:43:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska Collins Okafor is a solid back that has the size and running style of an every down back. In this ScoutTV feature we take a look at him in action from the highlights of his junior season. http://recruiting.scout.com/2/684148.html 2047 Greg Powers http://recruiting.scout.com/2/684148.html Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:56:00 GMT 0 73 Football Recruiting recruiting One of the first commitments in the Nebraska 2008 class was Omaha (Nebr.) Westside running back, Collins Okafor. It's easy, at that point, to relax. The hard work is over. You have your scholarship and you know where you are going, but that isn't Okafor. He's used it as incentive and is going out for every game as the starting running back on the #1 team in the state. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/675407.html 2047 Bryan Munson http://nebraska.scout.com/2/675407.html Tue, 04 Sep 2007 00:58:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska What would any athletic event be without a list of who we thought were the best? Yes, the camps are an educational experience for hundreds of kids from around the country. But it's also a chance for some of the top prospects to show what they can do. Well, we took a look at them and this is our list as we counted down the MVPs from session No. 1. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/651163.html 2047 Steve Ryan http://nebraska.scout.com/2/651163.html Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:27:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska Scout.com caught up with running back Collins Okafor Sunday afternoon, and he speaks about his commitment to Nebraska. http://recruiting.scout.com/2/635915.html 2047 Tim Gilbreath http://recruiting.scout.com/2/635915.html Mon, 16 Apr 2007 03:21:00 GMT 1 73 Football Recruiting recruiting It's getting to be that time of year when a lot of things typically fall on the same weekend. It's a matter now of choosing what needs to be done over what you really want to do sometimes. For a couple of in-state players from Nebraska, what they need to do might get in the way of what they want to do next weekend. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/633544.html 2047 Bryan Munson http://nebraska.scout.com/2/633544.html Sat, 07 Apr 2007 17:13:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska It's not an inferiority complex that Collins Okafor has, but there is some sense of need to show that he belongs in a Nebraska jersey. It's not to anyone really specific, except himself. He wants to become the best possible player that he can be and he is working hard to do it. Okafor, who committed to Nebraska last year, is solid as ever and can't wait to be a Husker. http://nebraska.scout.com/2/629058.html 2047 Bryan Munson http://nebraska.scout.com/2/629058.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 00:14:00 GMT 1 204 Nebraska nebraska
