Nebraska Football EJ Barthel Shares Honest Conor Booth, Jamarion Parker Statement


Two of Nebraska’s early enrollee freshman are making impressions on Nebraska running backs coach EJ Barthel.

The assistant coach spoke to the media Thursday, giving his honest feelings about both Jamarion Parker and Conor Booth.

“Parker has been dealing with some Injury stuff, so I will let Coach [Matt] Rhule handle that. He was not with us today, but nothing major,” Barthel said. “Watching him practice he’s got really good instincts and a really good feel for the rush skills. He really understands run game. Right now he needs to focus on his body and get healthy.”

Barthel would then continue speaking by touching more on Booth as a player with the media.

“Conor Booth, same deal. The big question with him, not from our perspective, but the noise from the outside was ‘He’s a Nebraska kid, blah blah, blah, blah, blah. He ran for almost 3,000 yards can he do that at a bigger level?’ The kid belongs here, there is no doubt about it. He’s shown every day that he is getting better, better, and better. He’s shown that he belongs and we are really happy about where he is at,” Barthel said.
