Veterans to watch? Fresh faces to watch? Your offensive guide to the Red-White Spring Game | Football



Samori Toure, senior WR: A fresh face and a veteran all at once, the graduate transfer from Montana has done nothing but impress since arriving on campus in January. He’ll be a major factor on offense this fall and fans will get a good look in the first half Saturday.

Turner Corcoran, freshman OT: NU got a sneak peek at Corcoran last year against Rutgers, but he’s entrenched himself as the Huskers’ left tackle going into 2021.

On the sideline with injuries

Running backs Markese Stepp (left foot) and Rahmir Johnson (undisclosed), tight end Thomas Fidone (knee), wide receiver Alante Brown (left arm).

Steven M. Sipple and Parker Gabriel discuss what they found most interesting from Wednesday’s Husker availability.




Position Cliff Notes (ranked in order of intrigue)

1. Running backs: We’ve got multiple shades of intrigue in this list, and for the running backs it’s, “Well, we don’t really know what’s going to happen here at all.” The USC transfer Stepp is out until the summer, according to head coach Scott Frost, after left foot surgery. Nearly all the other scholarship backs are young and have missed at least a little time in recent weeks, though only Johnson has missed the entire spring. Ronald Thompkins began 2020 as the No. 2 back. Marvin Scott more or less finished 2020 in that spot. Morrison missed the whole year. Ervin is the newcomer. Yant has sizable intrigue, literally, at 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds.
