Nebraska football: Spring Game visitors react to the day
Nebraska football appears to be making an impact with Ohio running back.
The Nebraska football coaching staff has long talked about the fact that they want a massive stable of running backs to pull players from.
That’s why the Cornhuskers’ staff has been going after a ton of running backs in the 2019 class. One of the best in that class is Ohio back John Bivens.
Ranked as a three-star running back by 247Sports composite rankings, he’s considered the 13th best player in the state of Ohio. He’s also the 26th best running back in the entire 2019 class.

Bivens might be one of the most sought after recruits that made the trip to Lincoln. While he hasn’t been offered by Ohio State yet, he has offers from power teams like USC, Louisville and West Virginia.
