Nebraska outside linebacker JoJo Domann hits Penn State quarterback Will Levis last season at Memorial Stadium.
As the countdown to the beginning of Nebraska’s preseason camp continues, the Journal Star is counting down its annual list of the 30 Most Intriguing Huskers.
The list, as always, is not about the 30 best players or the 30 most important players, but is based instead purely on intrigue. We’ll cover breakout candidates, new faces, old heads and more. The list tends to skew toward youth and inexperience because, well, those types of players are intriguing. But there are more than a few regulars, too.
No. 13: OLB JoJo Domann, sr.
Although Domann was limited during spring ball, he will again be counted on heavily to make plays for Nebraska’s veteran defense.
Domann
The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Colorado native is one of the team’s most explosive defenders and plays a critical — and demanding — hybrid position. He possesses the size of an NFL inside linebacker but also has the ability to move to the perimeter and play receivers in coverage, says Mike Dawson, Nebraska’s outside linebackers coach.
Yes, that’s an extremely valuable combination in this day and age, or in any day and age.
It’s why Domann seldom came off the field last season, playing either his outside linebacker spot or his role as a nickel in sub-packages.
