Westerkamp has already carved out a place in Husker history with his famous catch against Northwestern this season. It will be remembered alongside former Husker Matt Davidson’s amazing reception against Missouri years ago. Hopefully Westerkamp can go on to have as productive of a career as Davidson did in his time as a Husker.
Ameer Abdullah was a work horse for the Nebraska Cornhuskers offense at running back in 2013. He was arguably the best tailback in the Big 10 in 2013. Abdullah may be a high commodity when the NFL draft takes place. If he decides not to return to Lincoln, that would leave Imani Cross and the Freshman Newby left to carry the load for the Husker offense in 2013
It was a whirlwind year for the red shirt freshman from Texas. Armstrong most likely anticipated only seeing playing time in mop-up duty when senior Taylor Martinez was finished for the game. All of that changed early in the season when Martinez’s lingering injuries began to emerge as more serious than previously anticipated. Armstrong had a strong freshman campaign and the experience he received this year will be very helpful heading into 2014.
At 6-foot-4, 240-pounds, Carter has size to be an effective pass catcher and blocker from the tight end position. Husker offenses have effectively used the tight end in their passing game in recent history and Carter would be the type of playmaker whose hands Coach Pelini wants the ball in.
Sam Foltz is of course an unheralded football player, as he handles the Punting duties. Foltz does have a very important job with the Husker football team as their defense continues to develop it is always nice to be working with your opponents backs against the wall. Foltz will be looking to follow in the footsteps of great Huskers like Kyle Larson, Brett Maher and Sam Koch.
Avery Moss' skill set was made very apparent during 2013. Moss is big, fast and likes to get after the quarterback. Moss should have plenty of opportunities to chase down quarterbacks in coming years as a Blackshirt.
Rose is an athletic Linebacker who has an amazing future ahead of him. Rose may be a future leader for the Cornhuskers.
Like Rose, Banderas has a huge upside at the linebacker position. He was a key contributor as a freshman and even started in six games.
Gerry will be an interesting player to watch as he develops into his role as a Nebraska Cornhusker. Gerry was a standout high school all-around athlete from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Gerry won numerous state championships as a sprinter. Gerry is currently a linebacker for the Cornhuskers and seems to fit well in that role for now.
At 6-foot-2, 300-pounds, Collins has size to be a major run stuffer for the Blackshirt Defense. Time in the Huskers weight training program this offseason could turn him into a dominant force up front.
