Nebraska Countdown to Kickoff: No. 13 Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda
Only 13 days remain untiil Nebraska opens up their 2024 season on August 31 against the UTEP Miners and under the magnifying glass is Huskers wide receiver Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda. The California native enters his third season with the program but is coming off a dissapointing 2023 season in which he was injured in the Huskers season opener against Minnesota and was out for the season. In his first season with the program in 2022, he played in just four games and redshirted. In those four games, he was impressive with five receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown. This fall, Garcia-Castaneda will likely have a rotational role for the Huskers. Don’t expect the former New Mexico State standout to have a big season but he could absolutely carve himself out a nice role if he can be consistent when on the field.
