Hi there, this is Bobby Schneider. I’m honored and excited to be member of the Carriker Chronicles staff! I grew up in southwestern Nebraska, in a small town of 900 people called Benkelman. I played sports such as football, basketball, baseball and ran track. I always had a dream of wearing a Red N. Even though I didn’t fulfill that dream, I had opportunities to play college football and wound up playing a season at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. Throughout my life, I have always been passionate about sports, especially Husker football. Numerous peers have told me that covering sports would be a great career choice due to my sports knowledge and communication skills. I’m currently a junior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I am studying sports media and communications. I am just a small-town, blue-collar Nebraskan who is striving to make a career covering one of my biggest passions. Go Big Red!

Nebraska fans finally got what they wanted from the transfer portal; an offensive lineman. With the commitment of Alabama offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett, the Huskers now have another piece to protect soon-to-be sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola. Here’s a breakdown of Prichett and the rest of Nebraska’s offensive line who could be in the rotation: For Pritchett After entering the portal this past Saturday, Pritchett was among the highest-ranked transfer offensive linemen.

Missouri transfer edge Williams Nwaneri is ‘N’ according to On3. Nwaneri was a five-star plus prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, being the No. 1 overall ranked edge. Nebraska just hit a home run. Nwaneri comes in at six-foot-six, 265 pounds. The losses of Jimari Butler, James Williams and Princewill Umanmielen hurt, but Nebraska just made a splash in reloading. Give head coach Matt Rhule, defensive coordinator John Butler, analyst Jamar Mozee and the rest of the coaching staff credit. Mozee was Nwaneri’s high school coach. It’s all about connections. The potential is as high as it gets with Nwaneri.…
