WR Kade Warner, finally healthy after a stress fracture, hopes to help Huskers down the stretch

Particularly on offense, Nebraska has no shortage of frustration to go around through the season’s first seven games.

Perhaps nobody has a better claim to the feeling, though, than sophomore wide receiver Kade Warner.

The walk-on, who earned a starting spot last year and finished 2018 with 95 receiving yards on 13 catches, entered preseason camp as a contender for a starting job again under wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator Troy Walters.

The Scottsdale, Arizona native missed the first four games, too. He finally got healthy enough to get some playing time late in a blowout loss to Ohio State and promptly suffered another injury, this time a hamstring pull that Walters later characterized as an aggravation related to the original stress fracture.
