Huskers prioritize speed and 'playing radius' in recruiting hunt for pass-rushers

As Nebraska continues to build its 2019 recruiting class — the group stands at 18 verbal prospects with the Thursday addition of athlete/receiver Darien Chase (Vancouver, Washington) — the puzzle is steadily coming further into focus.

It will undoubtedly be a big group, think 25-plus scholarship players when it’s all said and done, but some positions have crystallized.

Chase and Jamie Nance (Blanchard, Oklahoma) might not be the only two receivers, but that’s a good start. If the Huskers land dynamic running back Wandale Robinson (Frankfort, Kentucky) on Nov. 1, they might be about done in the backfield, too.
