That thought resonated with DaiShon Neal, a 6-7, 270-pound sophomore who relishes battling for playing time at defensive end in the Huskers’ new 3-4 defensive alignment.

Neil, a Houston native who played at Omaha Central, was inspired listening to Husker sophomore soccer goalkeeper Aubrei Corder deliver Sunday’s keynote speech on Memorial Stadium’s third floor.
