LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White has gotten a $600,000 raise and will earn a salary of $1.6 million a year for the final two seasons of his contract.
The school said Friday that White, a nominee for the Broyles Award in 2022 and 2023 that goes to the top assistant in the college game, has signed the restructured deal.
Nebraska's defense under White this season held opponents to 303 yards a game, the lowest total since 2009. The defense ranked 14th nationally, the Cornhuskers first time in the top 25 since 2010.
