JoJo Domann

Speaking of JoJo Domann he comes into the 2020 season as undoubtedly the anchor for the position. After a stellar year last year, he looks to continue that in 2020.

He recorded 52 tackles last season which was a career-high for him. He ranked second on the team with 11 tackles for a loss, six pass breakups, and to force fumbles. When you watched him on the field, he was flying around. There is no doubt that he was the leader of the defense in some games, and was able to step up in big moments.

Now as a senior, he will undoubtedly have to be the leader on the field. I can’t wait to see what he does for his final act, and he will definitely need to be the anchor at the linebacker for Nebraska to have any success.
