“In my experience, there’s a lot of leaders and very few really good leaders,” Frost said. “I can’t say enough about Hank Bounds. I think he’s a good man and he’s one of the best leaders I’ve been around. We’re going to miss him, but I’m happy for him and wish him the best. We have enough other good leaders around here that I know we’ll be fine.”

Robinson still on the mend: Freshman all-purpose back Wan'Dale Robinson isn't fully recovered from a hamstring that Frost categorized before spring break as minor.

"He’s been full-go this week," Frost said. "I wouldn't say he’s 100 percent yet, but he’s still looking pretty good at 80 percent or whatever he is."

Robinson was in pads Wednesday and worked through all the drills during the practice session open to reporters.

Backup QB job will be open into fall: Frost said the Huskers aren't in a rush to determine who their No. 2 quarterback is behind Adrian Martinez.

There are redshirt considerations, too, considering freshman Luke McCaffrey can play in up to four games without burning his redshirt.
