The new Nebraska wide receiver, who had the big year in 2017 for Cal but missed five games to injury last fall and finished with 30 catches for 369 and a pair of touchdowns in eight games, was not highly sought after when he decided to leave Berkeley.
Really? Even with 96 career catches, 1,267 yards and a reputation as a reliable, competitive pass-catcher?
Since he came on to Nebraska’s radar screen, though, the nature of Noa’s expectations have steadily shifted. He’s gone from a lightly recruited transfer who had never been East of California except to with the Bears for road games to a real target of the Husker staff.
