Know where to be, what to do and, most importantly, how to move on from a mistake. Don't. Get. Flustered. Maturity - that's what new Nebraska cornerback Tommi Hill needs, according to his position coach. If Hill grows up in Husker training camp, NU defen sive backs coach Travis Fisher can predict where Hill's career is headed. 'He's going to be an NFL player if he don't mess it up," Fisher said on Husker Sports Radio on Thursday night. "It's one thing to say those types of things about kids before they a ctually put the work in, but just the potential I see in him - with his movement skills - he's just got to put the total package together to be that guy." Fisher called Hill, a 6-foot, 200-pound Arizona State transfer, an athletic "freak" who beats himse lf up too much after a bad play.Competitors are like that, Fisher intimated, but college football moves just too fast in an era of no-huddle offenses for Hill, or any other DB, to get stuck in their feelings. "That's why Myles Farmer and Quinton N ewsome are so important in the secondary," Fisher said of his two returning starters from the Atlanta area. "Because they can help out so much with that - getting guys like Tommi, with that kind of skill, to have the mindset of guys who have been here." Fisher said Newsome, 6-1, 180, will get pushed at corner by Hill and 6-4, 195-pound Braxton Clark, Fisher said, but it's clear, both from spring camp and Newsome's upward trajectory, that his job in NU's secondary seems secure. - Lincoln Journal Star
