Spring Position Battles - Safeties

Recommended Posts

Nebraska has a clear starter in Nate Gerry, but the rest of it is as clear as mud since one potential starter, Antonio Reed, will miss spring football with a shoulder injury and Aaron Williams will miss at least part of it after getting a meniscus repaired. Who does that leave? Kieron Williams, who has his best chance yet to make a move; redshirt freshman Avery Anderson, a natural playmaker in high school; some walk-ons; and perhaps Charles Jackson, unless he fits better at cornerback. When Nebraska uses a nickel or dime formation, which is likely in early-season games against Fresno State and Oregon, it’ll have to find an extra cornerback or two, as well.

LJS Spring Practice Questions

 

6. Who’s that guy you know nothing about who uses this spring as a trampoline into a role of significance in the fall? Last year, you might say the walk-on Weber was that guy. The jury remains out, but Riley has mentioned off-the-radar names like Bryan Reimers at receiver, Tyler Hoppes at tight end and Jacob Weinmaster at linebacker, who could develop into a nice special-teams option. Not unknown, but just as intriguing, are whether scholarship guys like Eric Lee, Avery Anderson and Kieron Williams can use these practices to put more weight on their roles in the secondary.
