Jeremy Pernell has evaluated prospects for the NFL Draft since 1996. In January of 2002, along with Kyle Knutzen, he co-founded the website N2FL.com. The pair ran the site until June of 2014, when they decided to dissolve it to focus on other professional opportunities. A section of the website was dedicated to fantasy football strategies and projections, which was handled by Knutzen. With Jeremy expanding his scope to include college recruiting, the majority of the site focused on talent evaluation. It consisted of scouting reports, prospect interviews and player rankings. It was one of the earliest independent sites of its kind, and Jeremy gained recognition for his ability to identify and project talent. His content has been featured on numerous websites as well as newspapers. With the reputation and popularity of N2FL.com, Jeremy fostered professional relationships with coaches on all levels. In February of 2013, Jeremy officially joined HuskerMax.com as a columnist. He contributes recruiting updates, game reviews and opinion pieces about the Nebraska football program.

The Huskers' secondary is at an interesting mesh point. Several multi-year starters are being pushed by youngsters who are entering their second and third years in the program. It's a large, competitive room that has seen a lot of jostling this offseason.
Don't be surprised to see a variety of interesting personnel combinations this season on passing downs, some of them involving multiple Jack linebackers.
The Huskers are more athletic on the D-line than a year ago, but the unit is one of the team's biggest question marks going into the '25 season. Is there anyone who can consistently command double-teams the way Nash Hutmacher did?
This looks to be the best Husker O-line in at least a decade. There are eight guys the staff would feel comfortable putting out there to start without much drop-off.
The discrepancy with Dylan Raiola's 2024 throwing numbers against man coverage instead of zone has been documented. I place much of the blame on the inability of last year's receivers to beat press coverage, but this year's WRs seem equipped to handle it.
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule likes to talk about the three stages of culture-building. First, the players have to learn it. Then they'll start to live it. Finally, players will defend it. This team has officially entered the "defend it" stage.
There's more to it than the Year 2 jump that's expected from Dylan Raiola. Behind him on the depth chart and in the recruiting pipeline is talent that should produce sustained success.
Jeremy Pernell examines how Nebraska football's offensive coordinator has operated at his previous coaching stops -- and why a pass-happy attack probably isn't in the cards.
The Huskers' head coach has shown an ability to adapt quickly to college football's shifting tides. A case in point is his revamped staff as he embarks on Year 3 in Lincoln.
