Syracuse LB transfer Stefon Thompson commits to Nebraska


Linebacker was one of the positions where Nebraska football wanted to add an instant-impact player this offseason, so the Huskers took to the transfer portal and landed one with plenty of experience and production: Syracuse transfer Stefon Thompson has committed to Nebraska following his official visit during the Jan. 5-7 weekend.

Huskers add 2024 walk-on tight end


Nebraska football added to its 2024 walk-on class on Saturday evening, picking up a pledge from Bloomington Jefferson (Minn.) tight end Danny King. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound King announced his decision on social media on Saturday evening. King has been on Nebraska’s radar for awhile, and made a gameday visit for the Huskers’ November matchup with Maryland. As a senior, King made 34 catches for 481 yards and five touchdowns. In addition to the trip to Lincoln, King also visited Boston College, South Dakota State and Minnesota. King held scholarship offers from Minnesota State and Sioux Falls before choosing the opportunity with the Huskers.

Philly CB Kahmir Prescott commits to Nebraska


The connection between Philadelphia and Nebraska has been strong since Matt Rhule took over as the Cornhuskers' coach, and the latest piece of it comes in the form of cornerback Kahmir Prescott. The one-time Wisconsin commit from Philadelphia Neumann Goretti announced he is heading to Nebraska next season. "A lot of the coaching staff is Philadelphia orientated," Prescott said. "Also, they are one of the schools that have been really interested in me from the start, and I feel like if a school is that interested in me and want me, I should take a shot.

SPRING PREVIEW:
Pressure on Nebraska Huskers Freshman Quarterback Dylan Raiola?



Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers hold their annual Red-White Spring football game soon. And there will be a lot of pressure on incoming true-freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola who flipped from the Georgia Bulldogs at the last minute to join Nebraska football. Nebraska football is dying to get to a bowl game, something they haven't done since 2016. Rhule had a decent Huskers team in his first season in 2023. But they never could get right at the quarterback position. That's what makes the new 5-star quarterback Raiola so intriguing. Does Rhule let him learn under fire as the starter or does he ease the soon-to be 19 year old into the lineup? We will discuss that here and take your comments.

Benning Bites
Nebraska Football’s Search for a Starter



Dive deep into the heart of Husker Nation with Damon Benning on another episode of Benning Bites. The spotlight is on the Huskers' quarterback battle, a topic that's been heating up since Spring ball. As Coach Rhule and his staff play their cards close to the vest, Damon questions the narratives we create based on who might clinch the starting role. Why do we perceive the quarterback position so differently from the rest? What are the unspoken benchmarks for quarterback play? And do we really trust the coaching staff, or are we just seeking confirmation of our own biases?

Montana transfer Vincent Genatone will be a Husker


Former North Platte athlete Vince Genatone will be a Husker, announcing his commitment to the Big Red after a campus visit on Tuesday. Genatone spent the first two seasons of his college career at Montana. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder redshirted in 2022, and appeared in 12 games as a reserve defender in 2023, making one tackle. Genatone held offers from South Dakota State, Southern Miss, North Dakota, and Northern Arizona, and received interest from Nebraska, Cal, Boise State, and Washington. Scott Frost's staff showed strong interest in Genatone, but ultimately never offered the athlete.

Genatone will have three seasons of eligibility remaining in Lincoln.

QB Dylan Raiola on the Clock for Nebraska Football



The Nebraska football team and 5-star freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola will show what they are made of Saturday during the Huskers spring game in Lincoln. Raiola comes to the Nebraska football team with a lot of hype and attention following his flip from the Georgia Bulldogs to attend Nebraska.

DECISION TIME
The biggest question regarding Raiola is when Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule pulls the trigger and makes Raiola his starting quarterback. It is rare for a true freshman to play immediately at a Power 5 program. But Raiola may be an exception. We explore several timelines Rhule may consider. This is a talented team that is on the doorstep of taking the next step and becoming bowl eligible.

College football showcases a bunch of spring games this weekend and that includes other Big 10 teams other than Nebraska. In fact, the Oregon Ducks, The Maryland Terps, Rutgers Scarlett Knights and the UCLA Bruins all take the field this weekend.

MORE CAITLIN CLARK
Despite college football taking center stage we are never far from former Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark news. She held a workout at the Indiana Fever facility in Indianapolis and video of the practice got 2.5 million views on social media.

We will close out the week with our Picks-segment. Vegas Odds-Makers throw shade on Big 10 baseball teams. We will explain on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

The ultimate Nebraska spring game primer



The Red-White game weekend is here at Nebraska. Connor and Mitch offer their takes on everything to watch Saturday at Memorial Stadium -- from the QB play to a motivated defense, emphasis on ball security and the possibility of an aerial shootout in this final spring opportunity for the Huskers to impress. We also talk about the pressure involved in playing in a game-like situation. It matters plenty to Matt Rhule after Nebraska struggled often with games on the line in 2023.

Nebraska Football Should Name Dylan Raiola Starting QB Now!



Nebraska Football coach Matt Rhule has an absolute rising star at quarterback in 5-star true freshman Dylan Raiola. We were cautious about starting true freshman at Power 4 schools. Then we saw Raiola perform in the annual Nebraska Spring Football game in Lincoln this weekend. He is the real deal! Tune in here to find out why we think Matt Rhule should start Dylan Raiola immediately this season. He is ready-built to play college football. His poise, calmness and ability are not often seen in true freshman. He is an early enrollee and should actually be going to prom right now instead of leading the Huskers in front of 60,000 optimistic Nebraska football fans.

QUARTERBACKS TAKE OVER
Dylan Raiola was not the only quarterback who looked good this weekend. Oregon football kicked off their spring game will Dillon Gabriel under center. He looks like he is ready to take over for first round NFL pick Bo Nix.

Maryland discovered it may have to rely on its defense this year and Rutgers capped off its spring game in the coolest way ever. Tune in here to find out what happened.

BIG 10 COACHING NEWS
In coaching news former Iowa football offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz and former Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard found new jobs. One of them will remain in the Big 10.

Finally, we close things out with our Top 10 Big 10 observations from the exciting weekend. It is all one click away on Locked on Big 10!

Nebraska Spring Game Reactions and Overreactions



The spring game at Nebraska has come and gone. And the Huskers have a star in the making at quarterback, if Saturday was to serve as an indication. Freshman QB Dylan Raiola showed well in his debut performance in front of a crowd at Memorial Stadium. Mitch and Connor assess that and give their takes on the newly stocked cupboard of playmakers on the offensive side. Also, Nebraska failed to escape the spring season free of serious injuries in this final scrimmage.

Ya hate to make comparisons so early, but it's already been stated around the Husker football realm... He is basically Patrick Mahomes. Same build, same throwing motion, same number, same haircut, same attire, same moves. Dude's even being coached by Patrick Mahomes. Dylan Raiola wants to be Patrick Mahomes. That should bode well for the Skers.
