Among the most interesting position battles to watch as Nebraska progresses through spring ball are for a pair of openings on the interior offensive line.
Let’s get the standard laundry list of caveats out of the way right off the bat. Primary among them: It’s March. The Red-White Spring Game is still more than one month out and the season opener is more than five. Stuff changes. Injuries happen. At least four more scholarship offensive linemen and a host of walk-ons will join the program this summer.
On Monday, though, the Huskers featured their trio of returning starters — left tackle Brenden Jamies, right guard Boe Wilson and right tackle Matt Farniok — and then a pair of Nebraskans in sophomore walk-on Trent Hixson at left guard and redshirt freshman Cameron Jurgens at center.
