New Nebraska football players get their numbers assigned

The Nebraska football season is just over a month away now. While that will likely still feel like an eternity to Cornhusker fans, there are signs that we’re getting that much closer to kickoff.

One of those signs popped up on Thursday as many of the brand new Huskers officially got their numbers for the 2018 season. These are obviously not their numbers for the rest of their career, but more likely than not, they are the numbers they will be remembered for throughout Husker lore.

Some of the players got to carry over their numbers from high school or junior college.
