The countdown until the beginning of the 2024 season for the Nebraska Cornhuskers is down to less than 72 hours.
With three days remaining until the Huskers take the field at Memorial Stdium, Huskers junior defensive back Marques Buford Jr is in the player spotlight.
Buford Jr. is entering his fourth season with the program and enters the season with 27 games played including 13 starts. Last season, Buford was kept to just four games played, missing eight games due to injury.
In 2022, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound defensive back played in 11 of 12 games, recording 59 tackles including 36 solo tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. He also had two interceptions and five pass deflections.
Now healthy, Buford will be a starter for the Huskers again this fall, starting opposite of Tommi Hill.
