Nebraska defensive end Carlos Davis was named Nebraska’s most improved player last year. He said his acceptance speech would include a lengthy thank you to his position coach, John Parrella.
“That all really was on Coach Parrella, and making me believe that I could be the best that I could be,” Davis said. “He pushed me, and I just came out here every day trying to get better, and that’s what I did.”
Davis has emerged on the Huskers’ defense, and is set to be a starter in the new 3-4 defense when Nebraska opens the season Sept.
