Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Trey Palmer shutout, BHM uniforms, more
Nebraska Cornhuskers star Trey Palmer had a great week of practices leading up to the Senior Bowl 2023.
Unfortunately, it appears that Palmer mostly had all those great practices because he was going up against the inferior defense. It certainly didn’t help the Nebraska Cornhuskers star that he was on the team that not only didn’t produce much offense but when it was on offense decided to run the ball more than throw it.
In the end, Palmer didn’t have a single touch in Saturday’s Senior Bowl. These kinds of games are always hit-and-miss regarding who performs and who doesn’t.
But it is a bit surprising that Palmer didn’t get a single catch considering all the videos coming out all week of him showing off his ability to blow past defenders and get open for the catch. Next up for Palmer is his senior day and then the NFL combine.
