Nebraska Countdown to Kickoff: No. 53 Jacob Bower

Only 53 days remain until Nebraska’s 2024 season begins.

Only 53 days remain until the Nebraska Cornhuskers begin their 2024 season against the UTEP Miners on August 31 at Memorial Stadium.

After taking a look at Huskers sixth-year offensive lineman Bryce Benhart, the focus shifts to second-year linebacker Jacob Bower.

The 6-foot-0, 195-pound Bower is a walk-on player for the Huskers joining the program last offseason after a standout career at Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Southern California.

On top of being a top defender for Santa Margarita Catholic, he was also a tremendous rugby standout for the SOC Raptors who were the 2023 Tier II National Championship runner-ups and was a member of the Under-18 U.S. National Team.

In his first year with the Huskers, Bowers did not see the field and will be unlikely to do so once again in 2024.
