Huskers added both size and speed

When Nebraska football lost to Iowa in the last game of the season, coach Frost talked about how Iowa was the bigger, more physical team. He also talked about how that was going to change and this recruiting class is a reflection of that.

There are some big dudes in this group and that is a great thing for the Huskers. Two of the top three guys can help in that area right away as linebacker Nick Henrich, a Nebraska product from Ohama, stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 210. Bryce Benhart, a tackle from Minnesota, towers at 6-foot-8, 305 pounds and Ty Robinson, a four-star defensive end signed Wednesday, is 6-foot-6, 280.

You also have to like what Nebraska did on the second and third levels of the defense. At edge rusher, the Huskers signed Jamin Graham (6-4, 223), Garrett Nelson (6-3, 235) and Mosal Newsom, another defensive end who is 6-foot-3 and around 250 pounds.

Myles Farmer and Quinton Newsome are 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-3 in the secondary and Javin Wright, a three-star corner is 6-foot-3, 195. The size in this class is impressive but these guys are athletes too and especially on the defensive side of the ball, the vision is starting to take shape.
