The only Nebraska running back who played substantial snaps in 2018 is sophomore Maurice Washington (101 touches, 676 total offensive yards), who is still facing two charges in Santa Clara (California) County court. Held has a couple of walk-on returners in senior Wyatt Mazour and Brody Belt, and a scholarship reserve in Jaylin Bradley, but otherwise the Huskers will try to fill in the rest with newcomers.
Held, though, expressed confidence during a Thursday evening appearance on the "Sports Nightly" radio program.
“It’s a room that had to be transformed just due to graduation and different things, but I’m really excited about it,” Held said.
