Nebraska quarterback Logan Smothers (8) cheers on his team from the sideline during the Penn State game in November at Memorial Stadium.
“I’ve got higher hopes than I did when we recruited Logan. He’s going to get his share of reps this spring, so I’m anxious to see where he is.”
The unique element of Nebraska’s current situation is that any quarterback on the transfer market who is considering coming to Lincoln over the summer will have some understanding about the chances of beating out Martinez, essentially a three-year starter, within two months of arriving on campus. At the same time, the Huskers don’t do themselves any good using one of two remaining spots on a player who would essentially just be an additional body in the room.
Frost, though, had no interest in getting into those hypotheticals this week.
“I’m not trying to belittle the question, but that’s way too far down the road for me to get into details about what we’re thinking if we need one,” Frost said. “That’s not what we’re thinking about right now.”
What the Huskers are thinking about right now are the three scholarship guys in the room plus walk-ons Matt Masker and Brayden Miller. Their progress this winter and through spring ball is among the most interesting storylines in the program and Frost certainly isn’t the only one anxious to see how it unfolds over the next three months.
