Devine Ozigbo

Nebraska’s run game figures to have a slightly different look this year with Imani Cross gone. Terrell Newby figures to be the nominal bellcow again this season, but the rising sophomore Ozigbo should push for triple-digit carries as Nebraska’s de facto power back. Ozigbo is a thumping type of runner at 5-11, 225, which makes him an excellent complement to Newby (5-10, 200), who has more of a third-down back build. Like Cross did last year, Ozigbo is a candidate to emerge as Nebraska’s primary goal-line runner thanks to his superior power element.
