HUSKERS PREVIEW
POSITION BREAKDOWN
TIGHT END | THOMAS FIDONE
THE STAR The returning leader of the group, Fidone’s 2023 season was the first fully healthy year of his ca- reer. He was highly impactful in all areas of the field, having caught a pass in 11 consecutive games to close the season. Fidone will again be counted upon as a key red zone and short-yardage target. THE STUNTMEN In addition to their pass-catching skills, Nebras- ka’s tight ends have to be adept blockers. Nate Boerkircher and Luke Lindenmeyer fill that role well and will feature in many two-tight end offen- sive sets.
