The start of fall camp is nearly a month away and a new class of Huskers will get to work trying to earn early playing time for the Big Red. Last season, injuries cut short the seasons of a number of true freshmen, but several players — Caleb Tannor, Cam Taylor, Maurice Washington and Barret Pickering — saw enough playing time to burn their redshirts.

Here’s a quick look at five true freshmen who could follow suit and appear in more than four games this coming season.

Wan’Dale Robinson: The do-everything back wowed his teammates and coaches in limited glimpses during spring practice. Robinson fought a hamstring injury in the spring, but rest assured he will be a big part of Nebraska’s offense as both a runner and receiver with a chance for a role in special teams as well.

Jackson Hannah: Nebraska is thin on depth at linebacker and Hannah has the body type and smarts to help Nebraska at the inside spots, and has played outside in the past as well. Hannah was one of the top players on Nebraska’s board in the 2019 recruiting class regardless of position and given that Nebraska needs more depth at inside linebacker, he will get a close look during fall camp.

Garrett Nelson: Nelson was likely overlooked in the 2019 class because of location and the fact that he had been committed to the Huskers for so long. Nelson enrolled early to try and get a head start on his Husker career and took advantage. Nelson checks in this summer at 250 pounds and with Nebraska’s aforementioned depth issues, Nelson could find his way into a role on defense or on special teams.

Darien Chase: The wise receiver from Washington was one of the last members of the 2019 class to get to campus, but he shouldn’t be overlooked. Chase had a knack for making big plays and catches in high school. Nebraska has options at wide receiver, but few proven pass catchers. Skill position players can normally function easily early in their careers, and Chase could get a chance to make an impression in fall camp.

Myles Farmer: Nebraska brought in a talented crop of defensive backs in 2019, and the one who generated the fewest headlines might have the best chance to shed his redshirt first. Farmer was all of 6-foot-3, 195 pounds in high school and was another player whose position on Nebraska’s recruiting board didn’t jive with his recruiting ranking. Farmer is a physical safety, and with the Huskers needing bodies at safety, he could find his way onto the field early.
