The three that have played extensively, of course, are Manning, Betts and Martin, who finished third, fourth and seventh on the team in receiving in 2021, respectively, and combined for 836 yards and three touchdowns.

NU, though, has to replace its two top receivers in wideout Samori Toure (898 yards) and tight end Austin Allen (608). Overall, Toure and senior Levi Falck (223) accounted for 53.8% of the Husker wide receiving production. In terms of total receiving yards, Nebraska has to replace about 54.6% assuming no further attrition.

“I’m going to push them to a level that they’ve never seen before,” Joseph said of the returning group. “And I tell them, I have proof with this that it’s going to work. My thing is getting them fundamentally sound. Working with them. The other thing, over-communicating with them. Sitting down and talking with them and seeing where they’re at.”
