Corey Collier no longer on Nebraska football roster


🌟🌟🌟

Hometown: Tucson, Ariz.

The specs: Defensive lineman, 6-5, 240 pounds.

Takeaway: The Huskers offered Wilhite in May, but he first landed at Arizona before flipping to Washington in the fall.

Had head coach Kalen DeBoer stayed at Washington, Wilhite would’ve never ended up at Nebraska. But with DeBoer departing to Alabama long after Wilhite signed his national letter of intent, he was granted a release weeks before February’s Signing Day.

It was for good reason that schools made Wilhite a priority target during the last few weeks. Prolific pass-rushing recruits are rare at any stage in the process, let alone the tail end of it.

In Wilhite, it’s easy to see a potential “Jack” linebacker capable of making a name for himself in the Nebraska defense or even a role on the line of scrimmage. Physically, he has the traits NU coaches always look for in a pass rusher — long arms, an explosive base and a physicality to his play that shows up in all aspects of the game.

Given the many freshmen who made an impact up front for Nebraska last season, it’s possible Wilhite could show his pass rush skills sooner rather than later.
