Red Report: Frost, Huskers react to increased spectators at games; talkin’ QBs; the plan for Toure | Football



“Smothers and Haarberg are both going to get plenty of opportunities this spring to show us what they can do, (Matt) Masker as well,” Frost said. “We get a lot of reps in spring ball, so those guys are going to get a ton of opportunity, and looking forward to seeing those guys develop too.”

Toure in the slot: An intriguing sublot to Nebraska’s offensive construction emerged Monday when Frost revealed that transfer receiver Samori Toure will work out of the slot during spring workouts.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Toure would provide NU with a big body at a spot often reserved for more diminutive targets.

“He can do a lot of different things… Can go up and attack a ball in the air — 50/50 balls aren’t 50/50 with him. He goes up and gets them. And then he’s a good route runner. Very polished,” NU offensive coordinator Matt Lubick said Monday. “The thing about our slot, he can play outside and also play inside. And to do that you’ve got to be able to mentally handle that.

“And that’s sometimes hard for a first-year guy, but he’s picked up really well.”

As a junior at Montana in 2019, Toure led the Big Sky Conference and was second in the FCS with a school-record 1,495 receiving yards on 87 receptions.
