Red Report: Adrian Martinez playing at ‘the highest level’; NFL scouts eye TEs; and big-play alert | Football



Early returns: Cam Taylor-Britt and Oliver Martin lead the way among punt returners, according to Beckton. Also, keep an eye on Brody Belt and even freshman Kamonte Grimes.

“Kamonte has really shown me he could be a punt returner down the road,” said Beckton, noting that Nebraska started working on kickoff returns Wednesday.

Omar Manning and Zavier Betts were among the top group of guys back deep.

“Omar surprised me a little bit how smooth he was back there,” Beckton said.

Sichterman steps up: The biggest question mark on who will comprise Nebraska’s offensive line appears to have an answer.

Junior Matt Sichterman said Wednesday he’s been working in the No. 1 spot at right guard after making a move in the spring.

“I think spring ball was really kind of my chance to turn that knob and be like, ‘I’m the leader now-,'” Sichterman said. “There’s no Matt Farniok, no Brenden Jaimes around. I’ve got to pick up that slack and be the vocal leader in the room along with Cam Jurgens and guys like that.”

The 6-4, 310-pound Sichterman, now in his fifth season of college football, has played in all of Nebraska’s games each of the past two seasons.

But he’s never been a starter, something that appears set to change when the Huskers take the field Aug. 28 against Illinois.
