Another former Nebraska football quarterback gets his first head coaching gig

Former Nebraska football quarterback Bobby Newcombe replaced Scott Frost in the Huskers’ quarterback room. Could the two players soon be allies when it comes to Nebraska recruiting?

Newcombe was named to his first head coaching job earlier this week. The former quarterback and wide receiver will be leading a 3A level powerhouse Arizona high school football team in Queen Creek (Az.) Casteel High.

According to Arizonacentral.com Newcombe had been serving as an assistant coach and the promotion was a bit of a surprise. Casteel’s coach, Spencer Stowers abruptly announced he would be leaving the school while the team was traveling to a camp.
