Three observations after the Huskers land a commitment from USC RB Markese Stepp | Recruiting



2. The Huskers’ young backfield has competition.

Stepp will join a Ryan Held position group that is promising but very young. NU got its first live look at redshirt freshman Ronald Thompkins and freshman Marvin Scott this fall and actually got more production out of redshirt freshman Rahmir Johnson during his four-game redshirt season in 2019 than in 2020.

Freshman Sevion Morrison is highly thought of by the staff, but did not see any playing time during the 2020 season due to a combination of injuries and COVID-19 protocols.

That group overall combined for a modest 37 carries, 116 yards and a touchdown in eight games.

Stepp will be on campus for the spring semester, as will incoming freshman Gabe Ervin, who is fresh off of a Class 6A state championship run with Buford High in Georgia.

3. When Nebraska players start filtering back onto campus this weekend, the offense is going to look a little bit different personnel-wise than it did on the field against Rutgers.

Gone are Wan’Dale Robinson and Mills, three offensive linemen with extensive starting experience in Matt Farniok and Brenden Jaimes (NFL) and Boe Wilson (transfer) and tight end Jack Stoll (NFL).
