Yes, a week before Nebraska football officially began spring practices, there was a lot of Trev Alberts and broad talk.
Let’s talk about a few of the football-related topics that Matt Rhule discussed during his 35-minute Monday media session. There will be time to discuss that.
— According to Rhule, there will be more competitiveness throughout practices this spring, which will fuel an increased sense of urgency around the program. According to Rhule, this will result in more scrimmaging, more chances to play in competitive settings, and ultimately, more reps for the three scholarship quarterbacks for the Huskers. Rhule said Nebraska only has to find a couple more plays every game rather than completely altering their approach from the previous campaign.
Rhule stated that Nebraska had a more talented squad.
— Heinrich Haarberg, Dylan Raiola, and Daniel Kaelin, Nebraska’s three scholarship quarterbacks, have done a good job of working thus far in the offseason. During the spring break, Haarberg has been practicing raising his elbow in his throwing motion.
Regarding the rookie quarterbacks, Rhule remarked, “They’re both winners.”
– In preparation for the commencement of spring ball next week, participants in the program participate in a variety of off-field challenges during this week of team devotion. According to Rhule, one of the reasons spring ball is starting later is to reduce the amount of dead time in May and at the conclusion of the spring.
The coaching staff at Nebraska has been pressuring seasoned players to step up this offseason. Players who Rhule wants to see advance as players include Thomas Fidone, Ty Robinson, Nash Hutmacher, and others. According to Rhule, the idea is that if the veterans get better, then younger players will too.
— Rhule stated that he is pleased with his team’s depth heading into the spring in two areas: running back and defensive back. Rhule stated that Rahmir Johnson might be ready for a portion of the spring, but Gabe Ervin Jr. is probably still out.
— According to Rhule, some players will have the chance to better themselves on Pro Day by running well. Omar Brown and Quinton Newsome undoubtedly fall into that group, according to Rhule. In addition, he said that Phalen Sanford might be a player worth a team’s consideration, particularly with a quick 40 on Wednesday.
