Nebraska Football Countdown to Kickoff: No. 39 Derek Branch
The countdown to the start of Nebraska’s 2024 season is now under 40 days with Huskers defensive back Derek Branch being put into today’s player spotlight. A native of Lincoln, Branch was a standout at Lincoln Southeast High School and the son of former Huskers linebacker Troy Branch. He chose to walk-on as part of the Gophers 2021 recruiting class after receiving Ivy League in his recruitment. Through his first three years with the Huskers, Branch has appeared in one game, making his collegiate debut last fall against Northern Illinois. In that brief appearance, Branch recorded his first career tackle. Branch in 2024 will serve as a depth cornerback for the Huskers and may see the field in limited action.
