Nebraska's Running Backs: Homegrown Talent or Portal Questions?
Description
Nebraskas football team is relying on homegrown talent at the running back position for the 2026 season, with sophomores Mekhi Nelson and Isaiah Mozee, and freshman Jamal Rule all vying for the lead role. The group showed promise in spring practices, rushing for 342 yards on 52 carries with no fumbles, but the lack of a clear starter sets up a committee approach. The run-first offense will rely on better blocking, quarterback runs, and depth to keep things physical. If the committee clicks, Nebraska builds lasting stability; if not, those portal questions might echo louder come game time.
