Nebraska defensive lineman Ty Robinson (right) looks on as Husker coach Scott Frost speaks to players during a timeout in the closing moments against Wisconsin on Nov. 19, 2019, 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. 8: Ty Robinson, DL, rfr.
Nebraska is expecting to be strong along the defensive line, and Robinson’s emergence might be one of the single biggest reasons why.
The former four-star recruit, who got his toes wet as a true freshman and then played extensively in every game in 2020, has turned himself into one of the more promising young defensive linemen in the Big Ten.
If a breakout year is on tap for Robinson, he’ll become a much more familiar name around the conference.
At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, Robinson has come a long way in filling out his massive frame. That, combined with two years now of learning under defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, leads many to believe that he can be a disruptive force up front for the Blackshirts.
