Hayes Exit Exposes Huskers RB Depth Crisis | Nebraska Cornhuskers Football News
Description
Nebraska’s football program just lost a high-potential running back, Tikey Hayes, after only 33 days on the roster — a shocking exit that underscores the team’s depth crisis at the position. A three-star recruit with elite high school stats and offers from Ohio State and Tennessee, Hayes barely got his feet wet at Penn State before transferring to Iowa Western and then Nebraska. He logged just nine practices before being cut, with no official reason given. Now, the Huskers must rely on young, inexperienced backs like Isaiah Mozee, Mekhi Nelson, and Jamal Rule to fill the void left by a player who could’ve been a breakout star. With last year’s Big Ten RB of the Year gone and minimal starting experience among the remaining options, the competition for the starting role is wide open — and how these rookies perform in fall camp could make or break Nebraska’s season.
