Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Terrance Knighton talks leadership, easier schedule, more
Nebraska Cornhuskers football defensive line coach likes what he sees in veteran leadership. That and other stories in today’s Huskers news.
Terrance Knighton might be relatively new to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but he knows that one of the strengths of the unit he’s now shepherding is that there are more than a few veterans who are willing to step up and lead.
Among the defensive linemen that is making the coach known lovingly as “Pot Roast” take note is none other than Nash Hutmacher.
“Nash is leading the way right now, he’s doing a good job with leadership, taking ownership of the room. With Ty Robinson and Blaise (Gunnerson) out right now, he’s taking that leadership role to the next level. He’s doing a good job of hearing the message from Coach Rhule, hearing the message from me and applying it to the rest of the room.”
It will certainly be interesting to see where that goes as the spring continues and eventually, the players are on their own again as they wait to get back together for fall practice.
