Before they were Huskers: The day a sixth-grader named Rahmir Johnson caught the coaches' attention

Before they got to Lincoln, the 2020 Huskers were slinging passes, accumulating touchdowns, breaking records and winning state titles. This fall, we highlight some Huskers who shined bright under Friday night lights.

Rahmir Johnson

Year and position: Redshirt freshman running back.

Recruiting class: 2019.
