The only scholarship player not considered for the list is defensive lineman Jahkeem Green, because at the outset of our countdown he is still in junior college and is only verbally bound to Nebraska.
No. 26: Dicaprio Bootle, CB, junior
Bootle enjoyed a breakout season in 2018. What makes him intriguing is he could reach another level in 2019.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Bootle, a junior from Miami, last season started all 12 games and broke up 15 passes, the second-highest total in school history and the highest by a Husker since Fabian Washington also had 15 breakups in 2004.
