Caleb Tannor

Caleb Tannor figures to be a major part of the outside linebacker position for Nebraska football.

Last year, he recorded eight tackles and 2.5 sacks. His best game in the 2019 season came against Northwestern on October 5. In that contest, he recorded five tackles and half a sack. It was the second consecutive game in which he performed at a high level. He also performed well in Ohio State’s victory over Nebraska football. Recording four tackles and a sack, he truly showed his potential.

As a junior, he will be one of the upperclassman at the position. I’m looking for him to have a big year, measuring in at six-foot-two, 220 pounds, he will certainly be a key contributor for the Huskers at the position.
