Nebraska Football: Reasons why Omar Manning will shine in Lincoln

I’ll admit, wide receiver Omar Manning is one of my favorite players. I was ecstatic when he came to Nebraska football in December. Nebraska now finally has a weapon that they can use at wideout. With the talented quarterbacks the program has, having Manning a part of the receiving group should only mean great things for Nebraska’s offense.

With two years of eligibility remaining, Manning should be able to leave his mark in Lincoln. The transfer from Kilgore College recorded 727 yards and six touchdowns in 2019. He averaged 20.8 yards per catch, showcasing his explosive playmaking ability.
