What kind of movement did spring ball prompt in the Huskers’ projected defensive depth chart? | Football



1. Marquel Dismuke, senior. 2. Noa Pola-Gates, redshirt freshman.

1. Deontai Williams, senior. 2. Myles Farmer, redshirt freshman.

Changes from pre-spring: Dropped Gifford off of the No. 2 line because he spent most of the spring backing up Domann. Other than that, the top four look solid coming out of spring ball. Fisher expressed a high degree of confidence in Farmer and Pola-Gates, referring to them as 1.5s rather than 2s. When push comes to shove, Fisher hasn’t done a ton of rotating in-game over the past couple of years. Will that change this fall?

Placekicker: 1. Connor Culp, senior. 2. Gabe Heins, redshirt freshman.

Punter: 1. Daniel Cerni, freshman OR William Przystup, sophomore.

Long snapper: 1. Cade Mueller, sophomore, OR Cameron Pieper, sophomore.

Changes from pre-spring: Cerni and Przystup get the OR designation for now as the freshman from Australia didn’t appear to do enough this spring to clearly win the job. That’s not to say he won’t, but for now, Przystup remains a candidate to win the job.

Also moved Gabe Heins to the No. 2 placekicking job behind Culp, mostly because he was the only other player to attempt a kick in the Red-White Spring Game. NU hopes it won’t have to go beyond Culp, of course, since he’s the reigning Big Ten kicker of the year.
