Nebraska sent three players to represent the team at Big Ten media days last week. Offensive lineman Ethan Piper, linebacker Luke Reimer, and quarterback Jeff Sims joined head coach Matt Rhule in Indianapolis.

The three players met with the Big Ten Network to discuss their new head coach. Piper talked about the new staff that was brought in last offseason.

I don’t like talking about the past. We always talk about learning from the past but preparing for the future. I can tell you what’s going on at Nebraska right now. Coach Rhule came here and brought a staff that believes in the players that were already here… that belief made us believe in ourselves even more.  

Reimer talked about Matt Rhule’s attention to detail.

There’s a lot of structure with coach Rhule. He runs a tight ship. Not too bad mouth anything from the past. A lot of emphasis on structure, detail and unity. 

Georgia Tech transfer Jeff Sims explained why he decided to come to Nebraska.

On my visit I was talking with Coach Rhule. Listening to the goals and vision for the future, it just aligned with what I wanted. I’ve heard the fanbase is nice and supportive. And I always wanted to be at a college that has fans like that and is in a college town. It was the right fit. 

Nebraska will kick off the 2023 season on August 31 at Minnesota.
