Red Report: Several elements of Huskers’ 2021 slate ‘up in the air’; staff hires coming soon; injury updates | Football



“We’ve had some guys identified for a while and I think it will be announced soon.”

Manning, others getting healthy: Junior receiver Omar Manning only appeared in one game in 2020 and was targeted one time after arriving in Lincoln as a heralded junior college prospect, but Frost said he’s encouraged by where the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is currently.

The head coach maintained, as he has all along, that the key for Manning to be healthy. Frost last year made references to both physical and mental health.

“I just don’t want to put too much pressure on him,” Frost said Thursday. “We’re all expecting him to be a good player, but I don’t want him to feel overwhelmed by the pressure of that.”

Frost said he’s also encouraged by the progress of several other players who suffered injuries in the past year, including defensive backs Myles Farmer and Javin Wright and wide receiver Will Nixon.

All three will be involved in spring practice, though Farmer and Wright in particular may be limited to some degree.

“Myles and Javin are young, talented kids that we’re really excited about,” Frost said. “Javin was having an unbelievable camp until he got hurt during a drill. We really could have used him this past year. … Both have a chance to be good players around here, both good kids. They’re working hard to get back. They’re both on a good track.
