Red Report: Frost says juco WR Omar Manning is ‘ready to play’;’ ILB Reimer back from injury | Football



“I think we’ll have a role for some of those guys this week or soon after.”

Reimer ready: That wasn’t the only good news on the personnel front for Nebraska on Thursday.

Frost said sophomore inside linebacker Luke Reimer is also set to make his season debut.

Reimer, the former Lincoln North Star standout and walk-on, had “a little bit of an ankle” injury that caused him to miss the Huskers’ season-opener, but he’s back to work and should fit into a rotation with seniors Collin Miller and Will Honas against Northwestern.

“Luke Reimer is a guy I’ve been impressed with since he stepped onto campus,” Frost said. … “That’s one spot where we don’t have a ton of depth, so we have to make sure we stay healthy. It’ll be nice to be able to rotate those guys and we have several good players that can go in.”

The only other expected contributor that didn’t play against OSU was defensive lineman Jordon Riley, who had a minor injury but was close enough to playing that he made the trip with the team. So, the Huskers could be closer to a healthy team defensively against the Wildcats.

Stoll avoids serious injury: Senior tight end Jack Stoll took a nasty hit through the left knee against Ohio State on Oct. 24, but Frost indicated Thursday that the senior from Colorado avoided a serious injury.
