Sipple and Parker Gabriel give the four most interesting things from Wednesday’s post-practice press conference.







Nebraska tight ends coach Sean Beckton is the only full-time offensive assistant left standing this week. 

The veteran, who came with coach Scott Frost from Central Florida when Frost was hired here, saw NU’s other four offensive assistants fired on Monday. 

Beckton, though, is a critical part of the puzzle going forward, according to Frost. 

“There’s so much that goes into these decisions and coaches have to fill a lot of roles,” Frost said. “They have to coach, they have to mentor, they have to recruit, they have to get those guys to play well and execute. Sean Beckton is, I think, elite at all of those things.”

Beckton’s tight ends are having the best statistical season in years for the Huskers. He’s got two veterans at the top of the room in Austin Allen and Travis Vokolek, promising young players such as freshman Thomas Fidone, and a budding four-star prospect committed for 2023, as well, in Pierce native Benjamin Brahmer. 

Beckton is also NU’s recruiting point person for the state of Georgia, which has produced several players on the Huskers’ roster. 

Frost also said Wednesday that the 26-year coaching veteran will help bridge the gap between Frost’s offensive scheme and terminology and whatever differences a new offensive coordinator will arrive in Lincoln with.
