Nebraska Football: Arkansas State Depth Chart

The first two-deep of the season is here!

Your Nebraska Cornhuskers take on the Arkansas State Red Wolves this weekend.

Who is on the two-deep? WE NOW KNOW.

Couple of takes from this:

  • Tre Bryant and Mikale Wilbon AND Devine Ozigbo as co-RB1 is kind of a surprise. Nice to see Wilbon off the milk carton though!
  • Two true freshmen backing up Mick Stoltenberg should tell you what John Parrella thinks of Deontre Thomas and Damion Daniels.
  • Kind of surprised at Luke Gifford being behind Marcus Newby at OLB. With all we heard of Gifford improving this fall, he should probably be starting.
  • The Tristan Gebbia as QB2 theories rest, at least for this week. Patrick O’Brien starts off as the man behind Tanner Lee.

** We will update with a text form of the depth chart shortly for easier reading for some. - SC&S
