A wildcard to watch is Davis. He’s wowed everyone early on with his development. Will he play beyond the four-game mark as a true freshman at the loaded defensive line position?
2 – Nebraka continues to keep its options open at the second corner spot
The one undefined spot on Nebraska’s defense through 13 Fall Camp practices is the second corner spot opposite Tommi Hill . Nobody on the Husker staff has tipped their on this after the spring injury to Blye Hill.
The staff continues to keep this conversation open. The early favorite seems to be Buford, with Issac Gifford , DeShon Singleton , and Hartzog all likely fit to take the three safety spots. The name of the game is to get the best five on the field, and it’s hard not to put Buford in that position.
3 – Nebraska finds itself in a potentially good position with Michael Terry III
Nebraska received some good news this week. Five-star athlete Michael Terry III told HuskerOnline that he plans to extend his recruitment into the season. That means Terry could visit the Huskers again in September before making an announcement.
This is the best-case possible scenario. Nebraska needs more to sell Terry on if they are going to have a chance against teams like Texas and Oregon.
Getting Terry on campus for one of the early season games gives NU an excellent opportunity to showcase what this offense will look like moving forward and how it might utilize Terry.

TWO QUESTIONS THIS WEEK
1 – Does Matt Rhule even need to make a big deal about naming Dylan Raiola his starting quarterback?
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has yet to name a starting quarterback in 2024, but at this point, does he even need to? Sure, he will at some point, but it appears that Raiola will be the guy today.
I don’t think much needs to be said. I could see Rhule casually saying, “At quarterback, we are going with Dylan,” turning the page and moving on. That’s all that needs to be said.
It will be interesting to see if that type of announcement comes before the depth chart is released or if he waits until game week.
2 – Who else will earn a single-digit jersey in 2024?
Nebraska will still have five single-digit jerseys in 2024, assuming all five that currently have one keep theirs.
