Matt Rhule reveals larger role for freshman WR Quinn Clark

Nebraska football freshman Quinn Clark may get a chance to make an impact on Saturday.

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhuke indicated that freshman wide receiver Quinn Clark practiced with the top offensive units this week. He could have a chance to play on Saturday.

The freshman played in the season opener against UTEP. He was targeted once but did not have a catch. He was a dynamic high school player, recording 1,791 yards and 30 touchdowns in three seasons, according to Maxpreps.com.

Clark’s height is also intriguing. He is six-foot-five, 205 pounds. His athleticism and speed make for an explosive combination. Earlier in the week, Dana Holgorsen told the press that he had found a player in practice that could make an impact in Saturday’s game and Rhule confirmed on Thursday that Quinn Clark was the player in question.

Nebraska football must pull out all the stops as they aim to get that sixth win with two games remaining. Clark appears to be going up the depth chart, and it will be interesting to see if he will play a factor on Saturday.
