Barno had a productive sophomore season for Butler. In his first season playing full time, the 6-foot-6, 220-pounder picked racked up 66 tackles (13 for loss) and 4.5 sacks and garnered Power Five interest along the way.

Meanwhile, the Huskers have other outside linebackers that they are still actively recruiting in the 2019 cycle.
