No Huskers heard their names called during the three-day NFL draft that wrapped up Saturday, but four will get their chances after signing with teams as undrafted free agents. The Denver Broncos signed a pair of Husker defensive backs, safety Omar Brown and cornerback Quinton Newsome. Brown, who is from Minneapolis, played two seasons at Nebraska after transferring from Northern Iowa, where he earned FCS All-America honors. In 2023, he started eight games for the Huskers and was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection. Newsome, from Georgia, was a three-year starter for the Huskers and earn...

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule says the Huskers aren't overlooking Michigan State, a team on a six-game losing streak with question marks at quarterback. “They’re really, really, really physical up front, in the upper half of the Big Ten in rush defense,” Rhule said during his press conference Monday. Every game, he said, must be approached with the expectation that it will go down to the wire. “If we expect that the game is going to go one way and it doesn’t, then sometimes we are caught,” Rhule said. “We expect every game to come down to the very last play when we have to throw a Hail Mary, ...

There's no shortage of hype surrounding Nebraska football's matchup Saturday with Colorado. Does a player ignore it, embrace it, or take an path somewhere in between? Four Huskers delved a bit into their mind-sets as they met the press after Tuesday's practice to preview the contest, which will be the home debut of new CU coach Deion Sanders. The Buffaloes grabbed national attention — and a No. 22 AP poll ranking — with their 45-42 road upset of TCU last weekend. "There's a lot of noise" surrounding the game, said offensive guard Ethan Piper, but "it just comes down to we play a game ... 60 mi...

Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims got a vote of confidence Friday from someone who sees him every day from the other side of the ball. Husker defensive coordinator Tony White coached against Sims in 2020 when the player was at Georgia Tech and White was at Syracuse. Sims, then a true freshman, had a rough outing that day, throwing four interceptions in a 37-20 road loss. Now three years older and operating in a new system and under new coaching, "Sims is a different player," White said, citing his reads, arm strength, maturity and confidence in the pocket. "He's on a different level. ... Defendin...

Players’ multiple roles discussed after Thursday’s practice Defense was the focus Thursday after Nebraska football's sixth spring practice. Defensive line coach Terrance Knighton said significant practice reps on the D-line are being spread around due to the unavailability of Ty Robinson and Blaise Gunnerson. Benefiting from the situation, Knighton said, are newcomers like Cam Lenhardt, Princewill Umanmielen and Kai Wallin as well as "guys who usually didn't get a lot of reps in the past," such as Ru'Quan Buckley and Jacob Herbek. A number of players are showing they can be effective lining up...

There’s just one returning starter in coach Travis Fisher's group Nebraska is replacing three multi-year starters from its secondary; cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (29 starts) and safeties Deontai Williams (17 starts) and Marquel Dismuke (33 starts). It's actually four of five starters if you include nickel back JoJo Domann (26 starts) who rarely left the field. The secondary has also seen its fair share of attrition throughout this staff's time at Nebraska. The pandemic lent a hand in the loss of four-star defensive backs Henry Gray and Jaiden Francois, along with Ronald Delancy III. Just this ...

Did Travis Fisher fill the holes? The defensive secondary is the next-to-last stop in my overview of the '22 Nebraska football team. Last week, the subject was the Husker linebacker room. I opined that Husker assistant coaches Mike Dawson (OLBs) and Barrett Ruud (ILBs) must be happy with their bunch of linebackers going into the fall. There's a good chance Husker secondary coach Travis Fisher is also excited for this year's crop of defensive backs. He knows he has a talented group, but he may be concerned with the experience factor. After all, the Huskers did lose some talent and experience fr...
