Practices have changed drastically since Coach Frost. There’s a lot of movement, there’s a lot of hitting, there’s a lot of contact. It was good to see that.”
Two months into the 2024 recruiting cycle, the state of Nebraska has more graded prospects – three stars and up – than Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Minnesota, according to 247 Sports’ Composite ratings, which averages the rankings of multiple scouting services.

We want all the TE’s apparently.
Nebraska produces a lot of kids with a TE body type. I personally like taking a lot of these kids because they can usually end up at a different position. So I think that is a good strategy by Rhule so far.

That leads me to believe one of the current TEs is retiring.
We can’t be carrying 7+ TEs on scholly, so I bet 1-2 current TEs have retired. Just thinking aloud
Rollins moved to DE and Carnie left I believe. That would leave Fidone, Gilbert, Boerkircher. I think the kid from MN is still here. Can't remember who else.

You have to remember all 3 guys we are talking about Carter Nelson , Flynt. And this kid are 24 kids, a lot can happen within a year,and they may have plans for some at other positions.

Maybe not all of them are going actually be TEs. Could be some position switching involved.
The 3 incoming kids will all be TEs. We’re going to be using TEs a lot more than we have in the past IMO. . I could see a guy like Nelson flexed out with a true blocking TE on the field at the same time. Then you add the H back dimension. Who knows if Fidone will stay healthy. I could even see a set with 3 TEs on the field in short yardage situations.
