HUSKERS PREVIEW
POSITION BREAKDOWN DEFENSIVE LINE | NASH HUTMACHER AND TY ROBINSON
THE CO-STARS The veteran co-stars of the Nebraska defensive line room both opted to run it back with the Huskers rather than looking to the professional ranks. Hutmacher, who often plays on the interior of the line, is a top-level pass rusher while Robinson’s impact is often shown by plugging gaps and freeing up his teammates for one-on-one assign- ments. THE STUNTMEN One of the deepest position groups on the roster has no shortage of young talent. Jimari Butler, who led Nebraska with 5 1/2 sacks last year, will be joined by Cameron Len- hardt and James Williams as key pass-rushing options. Elijah Jeudy and Riley Van Poppel will also feature heavily.
