Friday Night Lights No. 1: New CB Jackson on hand; Oliver intriguing; local prospects impress

As more than 300 campers worked out on a steamy Memorial Stadium turf during the first of Nebraska’s two Friday Night Lights camps, Scott Frost high-fived and chatted with a needle the Huskers have already pulled out of the haystack.

That’s Mesa (Arizona) Community College cornerback Will Jackson, who’s already committed and is set to begin classes here this summer, making him eligible to play in the fall.

While Jackson chatted with Frost, outside linebackers coach Jovan Dewitt, inside linebackers coach Barrett Ruud and defensive coordinator Erik Chinander, the camp whirred all around.

Several local players dotted the attendance list.
