With less than two weeks before the 2022 college football season starts, Nebraska coach Scott Frost has named the starting quarterback for the Cornhuskers offense.
Frost appeared on the Huskers Radio Network and stated that former Texas quarterback Casey Thompson is “going to be the guy” to lead Nebraska’s offense when the program kicks off the season on Aug. 27 against Northwestern in Dublin, Ireland.
Thompson, a former four-star recruit, entered the transfer portal during the offseason after spending four seasons at Texas. With two years of eligibility left, Frost believes Thompson could be the piece to help not only elevate the Cornhuskers’ offense but change the tide of Nebraska’s program.
