LINCOLN — Nebraska secondary coach Travis Fisher won't limit the potential of his four freshman defensive backs one bit before their first training camp.

Myles Farmer, Quinton Newsome, Noa Pola-Gates and Javin Wright could all play prominent roles in their first years on campus, Fisher said on the Huskers Sports Network Tuesday night.

"All four of those guys are guys I'm ready to throw in the fire right away," Fisher said on "Sports Nightly." Fisher said all four players were raised well by their parents and are "willing to come in here day after day and work and have the support back home that we see eye-to-eye in case things start to go the other way."

Newsome and Wright will begin their careers at cornerback, Fisher said. Newsome had played safety as a senior at North Gwinnett High School near Atlanta, but Fisher prefers Newsome's junior tape, when he played cornerback. Newsome is flexible enough to play safety if he gains a few pounds.

"I thought that his junior year film was better than his senior year film as far as movement skills," Fisher said.

Wright may be 6-foot-4, Fisher said, but he moves like a corner and "is going to surprise a lot of people."
