## Resource

Nebraska’s middle-tier units—secondary, linebackers, and tight ends—are quietly poised for growth this fall. The secondary, led by returning talent and new transfers like McDougle and Evans, boasts elite potential but needs consistency against top-tier opponents. The linebackers, anchored by Vincent Shavers and bolstered by transfers Foster and Hawthorne, look deeper and more versatile after last year’s struggles. Meanwhile, the tight ends, featuring blockers like Lindenmeyer and Nelson, could see increased roles thanks to QB Colandrea’s mobility and the OC’s multi-tight-end scheme. If these groups step up, they’ll be vital to Nebraska’s push for more wins in 2026. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
