More than any time since the portal became a thing, the Nebraska football team relied on transfers to come in and make a difference on its roster this winter. So far, it's been mostly so good in the regard with young defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri standing out as a defender who improves every week.
Matt Rhule and the coaches rewarded the way Nwaneri has improved last week, especially, making him one of the newest Blackshirts. For a group that sees these kinds of honors as earned, rather than handed to someone, it's a big deal.
