Nebraska Football Countdown to Kickoff: No. 35 DB D’Andre Barnes
Our countdown to kickoff for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and their 2024 regular season opener against the UTEP Miners is down to just 35 days. In the player spotlight with just 35 days remaining is Huskers redshirt freshman defensive back D’Andre Barnes. A consensus three-star prospect out of Regis Jesuit High School in the greater Denver metro area, Hayes committed to the Huskers over offers from Air Force, Bowling Green, BYU, Nevada, and Wyoming as part of the Huskers 2023 recruiting class. In his true freshman season in 2023, Barnes did not see playing time, redshirting, giving him four years of eligibility entering this fall. This fall, it seems unlikely for Barnes to see any considerable playing time but could play as a deep depth piece when the situation allows.

While discussing the current landscape of college football, Herstreit was asked about the Husker head coach and his early work at Nebraska. The analyst believes that Rhule is a perfect fit for college football. “I think he knew when he went to Lincoln and got out of the NFL that he missed college. I think he and his family missed that environment. I think he was very selective, he had a lot of opportunities. He...

Central City led 1-0 after three innings but then scored six runs in the fourth inning to pull away.
