I thought if you get a single digit that meant you were a captain but I definitely could be wrong as well.  Also I thought so too on it being really early for players already having single digit numbers but he must have earned the respect of the coaches

I am assuming those are old posts and someone is using them to generate clicks. They don’t vote on single digits until late July or early August timeframe.

While the replying comment wasn't helpful, we don't do team captains (only game captains) and the coaches respect has nothing to do with the single digits hence the nature of the reply. You could definitely consider the single digit guys functionally captains, but it's 100% a player vote.

This would definitely be earlier than last year's vote, but Barney getting a single digit wouldn't surprise me. Seems like every coach and teammate that mentions him talk about how much he loves football and how hard he works. The picture does look like the stuff they do on recruiting visits too though, so "deuce" could just be referring to year 2 for him and he re-used an older pic. 

 
We now return you to your regularly scheduled pre-season hypefest that you read every year.

Has anyone heard anything about progression or upside on: 

David Hofken- the big kid from Germany that they offered at a camp I believe- defensive lineman

Mac Markway- making his way back from injury/ ACL tear- tight end

?????

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Dude did come on for sure!!  Hope he continues on that trajectory.  We need some shut down DB's back there. I miss the old Pelini QB graveyard thread.....

 
This year's edition of Athlon's Big Ten coaches talking anonymously about each other is out now.

Nebraska:

“Expectations are building here, but I think this group can meet them.”

“Putting Dana [Holgorsen] in as OC is a great move for Matt [Rhule], and he’ll create a lot of advantages for Dylan [Raiola] in that offense.”

“The DC change won’t really affect what they do schematically; they’re still going to run a 3-3-5 base.”

“They need a big-play receiver to step up; otherwise, I think they’re more talented on paper than the Nebraska roster has been in years. The expectations are that they break out and finally compete among the top level in the league. That might not happen, but I think it’s realistic to expect a better bowl destination and more wins, and Dylan to get more national spotlight.”

“Matt knows how to do this, and they’re heading in the right direction.”
