I’m not sure that Lenhardt is truly considered an edge. It’s hard to define an “EDGE” anymore, so not saying you’re wrong. 
 

He should have graded out close to the top of whatever they consider his position to be for freshman.

 

 

EDIT- looks like he is listed as an EDGE in PFF, shows what I know. 

 

Yeah I even questioned it a little myself but I distinctly remember his rushing from outside the tackle at some points last season.

3. Which player from this class are you most excited to see perform on Saturdays?

Adam Gorney: Easy, Dylan Raiola. For selfish purposes, I hope he does well at Nebraska to back up his No. 2 overall ranking and as the top-rated quarterback in the 2024 class. But for the larger picture, I'm so intrigued to see if Raiola can finally be that spark that the Huskers' offense has desperately needed for a long time to get that program going again. One person cannot fix all the issues in Lincoln but Raiola immediately becomes one of the better quarterbacks there in a long time because he has such incredible physical tools. Backing off a pledge to Georgia is risky business because the Bulldogs know how to mint NFL players. It was a courageous move by Raiola to flip to the Huskers. Now let's see if it was the smart one.

 

Greg Smith: Dylan Raiola has the weight of the world on his shoulders right now. He’s the highest-rated quarterback Nebraska has signed in the Rivals Era. His dad’s name is in the stadium at Nebraska. His uncle is the offensive line coach. Raiola may have put coach Matt Rhule’s rebuild on a rocket ship when he decided to sign with Nebraska.

Raiola has all the physical tools you look for in a quarterback. He was the best quarterback prospect this cycle but how will that translate to Saturdays? He doesn’t have to be more than a game manager in year one but it's hard not to be excited about what he can become. Watching it all unfold will be compelling.

The presser just ended and there's a lot of good info that came from it. However according to Rhule, Micah Mazzccua isn't living up to the day to day expectations... Hopefully that turns around quickly now that it's out there.

Hopefully his brother being here will help steer him in the right direction.

I didn’t listen. But, this sounds like more of a message to Micah than to the fans. Hope he figures it out.

From this, it sounds like an older guy used to doing it one way at different programs needing to learn the expectations of his new one.

Including Rhule sounding like he wants to bring in a 4th scholarship QB after spring ball.

In five days the football season will be over, launching the longest, darkest days of the year.

 

It's up to this thread to get us out of bed in the morning.

I created the "What If" thread just for that purpose - give us something to keep our mind going instead of falling into deep hibernation.

T-minus 200 days to go ...... 

 

My wild guess, Friday night August 30 instead of Saturday Aug. 31.  Just like Minny schedule, Tar Heels at Rodents, Thursday night Aug 29th

Man Ohio St has a real murderer's row right before they have to play that powerhouse Michigan ST. 

[Red Five]

We're #3 in the country in "returning production", only behind Va Tech and Iowa St.  (Regarding transfers, their old team counts in the calculation.  So Mazzccua would count as starting 12 games).

 

 

[Red Five]

Check in at #39 in the initial SP+ ratings (we finished 2023 at #66).  At this point, these numbers are based on returning production, recent recruiting rankings, and recent history.
