Nebraska's running back room has already taken a hit to its depth this spring and on Wednesday featured only two scholarship backs available at practice.
Head coach Scott Frost announced after his team's fifth spring session that USC transfer running back Markese Stepp would miss all of the spring following a recent surgery, but said he should be cleared for some activity this summer and fully ready to go this fall.
“He’ll be back this summer," Frost said, adding that Stepp arrived on campus with a preexisting injury. "It’s something that he didn’t know about, we didn’t know about when he came in and we think its in his best interest to get it fixed to give him the best chance to be at his best.
