A Nebraska running back has announced that he will return for his senior season. Rahmir Johnson will be in uniform for the 2024 season.

Johnson had his 2023 season cut short after dislocating his hip in Nebraska’s 35-11 win over Northern Illinois. He only had 12 carries on the year for 65 yards, with a long of 44 yards.

His best season came in 2021 when he had 495 rushing yards on 112 carries with four touchdowns. The Huskers did not have a single-player gain over 500 rushing yards on the season.

Heinrich Haaarberg led the way with 477 yards, followed by Anthony Grant at 413 rushing yards and Emmett Johnson with 411. This will obviously be good news for the Huskers in 2024 as the Huskers look to have early depth in the running back room.
