Bummer. He'll be missed, but I'm glad we've got some dudes to take over in his place (Butler, Gunnerson, plus several new guys).
Lol we'll be fine. Good luck to him, just didn't see him as a scheme fit anyway unless he put on some weight and put his hand in the dirt.

He isn’t even close to being ready for the draft Needed to stay in college another year…He was given bad advice I believe..

Same thing we said about Cam last year.. he should have stayed in Lincoln another year too..
He wasn’t the best player on either side of the ball..
Palmer has more upside getting drafted higher than Nelson..
Nelson started to come on this past year and get better. I personally don’t think he was a real good player. A good motor helped him make a few plays but he also took bad angles, made wrong reads, and missed tackles.
was a great Husker. Gave max effort every snap. Great role model for other players on the team
Well actually Rhule had said that we weren’t going to be lining up in 3 man fronts all that much. He said that they were going to adapt their D to the players available. Maybe that was just coach speak to try to keep Nelson around but if you’ve watched much of the video out there on our DC you can see Nelson could still fit. I see them more often with 4-6 guys on the LOS than I do 3. Nelson can cover most TEs in the B1G.
He would have been a lot better under a better coach. Dawson was awful, about as bad a coach as we've had on Frost's staff.
It appeared to me that every coach we had on defense got better after we fired Chin.
We certainly had terrible coaching. And I know he’s been here for years but one more season under a real staff would have made him better. At least I think that’s what would happen.
good luck to him. plays hard.
wonder if he'll get a combine invite? helped a couple of our guys immensely last year

Nelson was the biggest playmaker we had last year on defense, but it’s his energy and passion we’ll miss the most.
Who’s going to bring the fire?
Need some leaders to step up.
Downside of portal era is making it more difficult to establish leadership over years of work and rapport.

It does??? Nice kid but disappeared a lot especially in big games. Might have a confidence problem and in his career is constantly out of position and it killed the team at times.
Plays hard, but is not a very good player for his physical makeup. NFL is so much about technique and not doing your own thing. He did a lot of the opposite at NU. Has all the tools just doesn’t ever seem to constantly put everything together
