HUSKERS PREVIEW
POSITION BREAKDOWN
RUNNING BACK | GABE ERVIN JR.
THE STAR Ervin is a dynamic star — but will he play the lead role for the entire season? The junior has played in just 15 games across his three- year career due to injuries. When healthy, his powerful running style has led to immediate success.
THE STUNTMEN Multiple running backs will feature in Nebraska’s offensive system. A sopho- more, Emmett Johnson, burst onto the scene late in the 2023 season as a starter, while the veteran Rahmir John- son is a pass-catching back with major upside. Oregon transfer Dante Dowdell will hope to earn a larger role as well.
