Nebraska's true freshman running back is making a strong case for real playing time
Dylan Widger-Imagn ImagesBecause Nebraska doesn't have a ton of bodies in the running back room, they needed to reel in Jamal Rule on signing day. However, the true freshman has shown coaches that he's got the stuff to go beyond just depth. Head coach Matt Rhule believes he could challenge for quite a bit of playing time in 2026.
Earlier in the spring session, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen made it clear he was impressed with Rule. On Saturday, it was Rhule's chance to opine on Rule. The head coach said the biggest thing that stood out to him was that the young ball carrier is adding some serious muscle in a short period of time.
