Freshman watch: OL Corcoran learning from Jaimes before potentially taking the torch

Related Topics: Nebraska, Scott Frost

Let’s dig a little bit deeper into the bag this week.

Freshman left tackle Turner Corcoran hasn’t played much this season, but that in and of itself is a good thing. He’s behind steady veteran Brenden Jaimes, who on Saturday set a Nebraska offensive line record by starting his 39th consecutive game.

Corcoran, the former four-star prospect from Lawrence, Kansas, is taking what amounts to an apprentice year. He’s played in a pair of games, studied Jaimes’ game, and will be in position to compete to take over as NU’s blind-side protector in 2021 if Jaimes heads off to the NFL.
