LB Coach Rob Dvoracek must find a way to replace Luke Reimer and Nick Henrich-two of his top linebackers.
In last week's column I talked about how much the Husker defense had improved last year compared with 2022. I believe this year's D will also be very strong. Having said that, the 2024 defense still has some gaps to fill if it is to be a solid force.
Two of the biggest holes that need to be filled are that of LBs Luke Reimer and Nick Henrich. The challenge for Husker LB coach Rob Dvoracek is that he has only about two months to fill them. Consider this: Reimer and Henrich combined last year for 43 solo tackles, 47 assisted for a total of 90 tackles. They also combined for a total of 7 QB sacks for 42 total yards. The totals spanned 20 games.
So who's going to fill their shoes? I don't know for sure, but here are some who might be equal to the task.1.) Javin Wright 6-5, 215 SR Chandler, AZ Solo , Assisted and Total He also had two INTs for 12 yards.3.) Mikail Gbayor 6-2, 230 JR Irvington, NJ 11, 13, 341.) Michael Booker III 6-1, 210 JR Grand Prairie, TX3.) Vincent Geratone, 6-1, 220 SR North Platte, NE5.
