Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Billy Kemp reviews, Casey Thompson assessment, more
One of the newest Nebraska Cornhuskers football players, Billy Kemp has been getting rave reviews.
That doesn’t just mean for his time in Lincoln, which is actually pretty short. But it hasn’t been hard at all to find reviews for Billy Kemp from his days at Virginia, which makes some sense since he’s on quite a few of the lists when it comes to school records.
Matt Rhule is one of the people who has offered some rave reviews of the transfer receiver. “His stature, people will think he’s an inside receiver but you watch him in the ACC – he’s playing outside, he’s playing inside, he’s a guy that can move the chains on third down,” Rhule said on signing day.
247Sports has compiled what others have said about the former Virginia Cavalier, and it certainly appears that the Nebraska football team got itself a talented pass catcher to try and rebuild with, in 2023.
