Husker DB signee Marques Buford excited to start competing once he’s on campus in January | Football



So, with the season finished, it was back to Texas just before Thanksgiving. There, he’s been working out and training in preparation for moving again, this time to Nebraska on Jan. 20.

“The time I’ve been back from prep school to right now at this moment, about to be January, this time has flew by,” Buford said. “It’s actually crazy. It feels like I was just in Connecticut going through it with no haircuts and all that type of stuff. But now I’m back in Dallas and, honestly, packing my bags again and getting ready to get to Lincoln.”

Even as odd as the three-month sojourn to Connecticut was, Buford said it helped him a lot on his football trajectory.

“I definitely feel like I improved,” he said. “Not even really like my physical — I definitely do feel like I’ve gotten way faster, way stronger — but more so on my football IQ and really just thinking the game and outsmarting people. I feel like that’s where I grew the most at.”


Husker offseason primer: Busy weeks, months ahead before NU begins spring ball

His highlights show mostly a cornerback that’s not afraid to press up on receivers. The first play on his Hudl film from the fall is a Cam Taylor-Britt-esque interception in which he goes back on the ball and leaps high to pull it down.

Really, Buford doesn’t seem like the type who’s scared of much on the football field. Especially competition. In fact, Buford says he hopes NU’s senior trio decides to stick around for 2021 and use the extra year of eligibility being offered by the NCAA.
