Deron Harrell's performance at Iowa impressed the University of Wisconsin coaching staff enough to place himself in the running for another start this week when the Badgers host Nebraska at Camp Randall Stadium.

The redshirt freshman, who earned his first career start against Iowa, is now listed as a co-starter at cornerback with sophomore Caesar Williams on UW's depth chart.

"I thought Deron did some good things," Badgers coach Paul Chryst said. "Deron's talented, and he's gaining more and more confidence with the position. The first thing for him was playing in games, and how do you adjust within a game? He's learning to do that and getting better at it.

"I think all the young DBs, we're going to need them, and they've all done things that have been good that you want to build on, and each one has areas that they need to continue to work on. That's why (Harrell's) listed as that, because that's what it is. He's giving himself an opportunity to get more reps, to get more playing time."
