LINCOLN, Neb. -- This week, we ranked the top 10 players on the Nebraska roster and placed quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. atop the list. That’s debatable, I know.
He’s not an NFL prospect at his position. But Armstrong is the most accomplished player in the Nebraska locker room and presumably the team’s preeminent leader. It sure looked that way last week at the Red-White game as Armstrong stood front and center, facing his teammates amid the billowing white smoke as the Cornhuskers practiced their Tunnel-Walk entrance.
He has talked a solid game over the past five months and undoubtedly matured, embracing adulthood away from the field and on it.
