In this story:


The Common Fans take a deep dive into Nebraska’s wide receiver room, arguably the most exciting position group on the team and, hopefully, the Huskers’ best bunch of receivers in many years. 

  • It starts at the top: new(ish) OC Dana Holgorsen is known as one of the best offensive minds in college football. 
  • New position coach Daikel Shorts is Holgorsen’s one hand-picked assistant, and is a talented up-and-comer in the business.
  • The returners: Jacory Barney and Janiran Bonner both made an impact in 2024, and are looking for more this season. 
  • The transfers: Dane Key, Nyziah Hunter, and Hardley Gilmore IV all could see major playing time in 2025. 
  • The newcomers: Cortez Mills, Isaiah Mozee, and Jeremiah Jones: which true freshmen will have an immediate impact?
  • Question marks: will Demitrius Bell be healthy? Will Quinn Clark be part of the rotation? Will there be a surprise contributor this season?
