RB Markese Stepp’s had bumps in the road since arriving at NU, but seems to be running to daylight | Football



“The scrimmage? Oh, shoot, Gabe went off. Gabe, he’s a great talent,” Stepp said. “He does everything pretty well. Learns fast. I was happy for him when he broke, I don’t know, a 60-, 50-yarder. It was kind of messy up front, he found a way, got through and that was a highlight for me. …

“He got through, broke 60 and that wins games, so I was happy for him.”

A few paces away, freshman Sevion Morrison discussed how he looks to Stepp for tutelage.

“Markese is a vet, so he knows a lot of things that we don’t know, and he don’t have a problem sharing it with us,” Morrison said. “Him being a vet and him coming from a good school, he knows a lot about blocking schemes, passing schemes, how this might hit or that might work. Every time he tells me something, my ears are open.”

The running backs coach didn’t name names, but it’s clear Stepp, Ervin and Morrison are three of the four players Held said are still in contention for playing time.

When he first got to Lincoln, the obvious conclusion was that he looked like a natural replacement for departed senior starter Dedrick Mills. That pathway featured a sizable detour, but Stepp looks to be back on course now as the Huskers’ opener approaches.

“Everybody can play, it’s just about consistency and showing up every day and putting your best foot forward day in and day out,” Stepp said.
