A Nebraska tight end commit worked out with an NFL quarterback over the weekend. Class of 2025 commit Bear Tenney caught for quarterback Zach Wilson of the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
Wilson is in his first season in Denver after spending his first three seasons with the New York Jets. The former BYU Cougar was selected with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
Tenney recapped the experience on social media. He committed to Nebraska in April.
In 2023, he caught 27 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns as a junior at Lucas Lovejoy High School in Texas. Tenney was the sixth commitment to Nebraska’s class of 2025 and the first tight end.
Tenney’s commitment was somewhat of a surprise as the tight end did not name Nebraska among his top five schools when he released the group in February. He listed Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Utah, and Washington.
