Nebraska's Top 5 Returning Players: Who's Ready to Break Out?

Big Red Junkies rank the top 5 returning Huskers heading into the season, breaking down who's primed for a leap and who still has to prove it on the field. We get into Vincent Shavers, Cam Lenhart and Ja'Cory Barney and why 'flash' isn't enough anymore, then argue out Justin Evans vs Elijah Pritchett for the top spot on the offensive line and why Jeep Wade is raving about both. We break down Willie Nowierski's pass-rush numbers, Andrew Marshall's lockdown corner play, and what Rob Orch's return could mean for that secondary. Plus we finally talk about Riley Van Poppel, why the podium hype hasn't matched the tape, and whether a new system finally unlocks him. We also touch on Dylan Raiola's replacement battle with TJ Lateef and Kalen, Willis McGee's potential position change, and a couple guys we might've totally missed.
