Steve Takaba of The Omaha World-Herald profiles former Nebraska Husker and current Hawaii Warrior Leon Wright-Jackson.

Suan said Wright-Jackson's pass blocking is coming along as well. All he needs to develop is his footwork and learn about blocking angles. Still, Suan said there's "no doubt" Wright-Jackson, who has three seasons of eligibility remaining, can crack the starting lineup immediately.

As for life in Lincoln, Wright-Jackson said he misses his old teammates. He still keeps in touch with Marlon Lucky and Phillip Dillard. He also wouldn't mind seeing them in a bowl game. Sound silly? It isn't out of the question.

Several publications list Hawaii as a trendy pick to be this season's BCS buster. Should the Warriors go undefeated and Nebraska win the Big 12 . . .

"That would be fun," Wright-Jackson said. "But I really don't worry about that. I'm on a new team and I'm trying to help this team go forward. If we ran into Nebraska, that would be a good experience. That would be fun."

And Eric Degerman of SportsTriCities.com writes a blog entry about former Pasco High and current University of Hawaii running back Leon Wright-Jackson.

Looks like Leon leaves a good impression wherever he goes. Can't wait to see him and the rest of the running backs rotating in tomorrow night!
