On Tuesday, we previewed the Nebraska Cornhuskers and their offensive weapon in wide receiver JD Spielman. Now, let’s take a look at inside linebacker Mohamed Barry, the defensive player to watch in Saturday’s contest against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Like Spielman, Barry is a playmaker that has a high potential for causing havoc. Starting all eight games this season, the LB leads the Cornhuskers in total tackles with 75. Of those 75 takedowns, 36 of them come from solo tackles, while 39 of them were assisted. In both solo and assists, Barry is, unsurprisingly, leading his team.
