March 31, 2025Ferraris and Lamborghinis: A Deep Dive Into Nebraska Football’s Wide Receivers
The Common Fans take a deep dive into Nebraska’s wide receiver room, arguably the most exciting position group on the team and, hopefully, the Huskers’ best bunch of receivers in many years.
It starts at the top: new(ish) OC Dana Holgorsen is known as one of the best offensive minds in college football.
New position coach Daikel Shorts is Holgorsen’s one hand-picked assistant, and is a talented up-and-comer in the business.
The returners: Jacory Barney and Janiran Bonner both made an impact in 2024, and are looking for more this season.
The transfers: Dane Key, Nyziah Hunter, and Hardley Gilmore IV all could see major playing time in 2025.
The newcomers: Cortez Mills, Isaiah Mozee, and Jeremiah Jones: which true freshmen will have an immediate impact?
Question marks: will Demitrius Bell be healthy? Will Quinn Clark be part of the rotation? Will there be a surprise contributor this season?

The Common Fans look at Matt Rhule’s history of taking a big leap in his third year at a program, and provide their reasons for why it will happen at Nebraska in 2025.

Even in the offseason, it’s been a busy stretch for Nebraska football and the Common Fans cover it all!
