Author: The Daily News Now! March 5, 2026 Duration: 1:20

Nebraskas running back room, led by All-American Emmett Johnson, faces a significant void as he prepares for the NFL Draft. The team relies on a young trio of Kwinten Ives, Isaiah Mozee, and Mekhi Nelson, who have limited game experience. Ives has shown promise, while Mozee excels on the outside and Nelson brings speed and toughness. Freshman Jamal Rule, a physical three-star talent, adds intrigue. Coach Ryan Barthels challenge is to transform this inexperience into reliability, with the goal of finding the next lead back to propel Nebraska forward.
