It's been a busy day of recruiting news for Nebraska, it also appears that the Huskers are in the process of naming a new assistant coach.

A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to HuskerOnline that former Husker and NFL defensive back Daniel Bullocks has emerged as a leading candidate to fill the opening on the defensive staff. Bullocks was in Lincoln on Wednesday meeting with NU's coaching staff.

Head coach Mike Riley confirmed they have interviewed one candidate who is in Lincoln today, but they have not made a hire yet and are still evaluating things.
