Prove It or Lose It: 6 Huskers Fighting for Their Future in Nebraska’s Spring Camp
Spring football is heating up in Lincoln, and for six Nebraska Huskers, the pressure is on. With new faces, fresh competition, and a coaching staff looking to shake things up, these players aren’t just fighting for playing time — they’re fighting for their football futures.
Head coach Matt Rhule has made it clear: nothing is guaranteed. If you don’t perform, someone else will. For these six Huskers, this spring camp is make-or-break time.
1. Jeff Sims (Quarterback)
The Georgia Tech transfer arrived with plenty of hype, but can he live up to it? With returning veteran Heinrich Haarberg and other QBs hungry for the job, Sims needs to prove he’s more than just potential. A shaky spring could open the door for others.
2. Anthony Grant (Running Back)
Grant was Nebraska’s leading rusher last season, but ball security issues put him in the doghouse late in the year. With a deep running back room, another fumble-filled camp could cost him his spot on the depth chart.
3. Xavier Betts (Wide Receiver)
After stepping away from the team last year, Betts is back — but nothing is promised. The Huskers’ receiving corps is stacked with new talent, and Betts must show he can still be a reliable target.
4. Bryce Benhart (Offensive Line)
Benhart has the size and experience but has struggled with consistency. In a unit desperate for improvement, the coaching staff is watching closely. One bad camp, and he could slide down the pecking order.
5. Ty Robinson (Defensive Line)
Robinson has flashed potential but hasn’t dominated consistently. With new competition coming in, he has to prove he can anchor the defensive line or risk losing valuable snaps.
6. MJ Sherman (Linebacker)
The Georgia transfer arrives with championship pedigree, but that doesn’t guarantee success in Lincoln. He needs to show he can lead this defense and not just blend in.
✅ Bottom Line:
With a new coaching regime and heightened expectations, these six Huskers have everything to gain — and even more to lose. As spring camp rolls on, fans should keep a close eye on who rises to the challenge.
