Episode Details

Gunnar Gottula’s fierce battle for the starting right tackle spot is heating up, but he’s not alone—three under-the-radar Nebraskans could steal the spotlight this fall. Demitrius Bell, a redshirt junior wideout with elite talent and offers from Alabama and Georgia, is primed for his first reps after missing all college action due to injury. Running back Kwinten Ives, who flashed over six yards per carry in 2025 despite injuries, is now healthy and the only upperclassman in a crowded backfield—Rhule calls him “starting-caliber.” And tight end Eric Ingwerson, who bulked up 20 pounds and shifted focus to blocking, could become a bigger target thanks to his new size. These three might just be the X-factors Nebraska needs to turn good into great.
