Former Nebraska quarterback Luke McCaffrey recently set the record straight in regard to his time with the Cornhuskers. The wide receiver for the Rice Owls told 93.7 The Ticket that he was never asked to make the position switch at Nebraska despite the rumors on social media.
“Every once in a while somebody will talk about how ‘he (McCaffrey) wouldn’t switch at Nebraska’ and little things like that. But it’s funny because there was never any talk about me switching (positions) at Nebraska. I never got asked to.”
Last season, McCaffrey had 71 receptions for 992 yards and 13 touchdowns in 13 games for the Rice Owls. He would play for Nebraska for the 2019 and 2020 seasons before transferring to Louisville and then Rice.
During his time as a Husker, McCaffrey threw for 608 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. He also ran for 530 yards and four touchdowns in 11 games.
McCaffrey is currently projected as a third-round pick in the latest mock draft from NFL.com. He’s been linked with the San Francisco 49ers, where his brother, Christian, is the starting running back.
