David Sanders Jr. is now predicted to head to Tennessee for his collegiate career.

The No. 1 offensive tackle in the class of 2025 is projected to commit to an SEC school next week. David Sanders Jr. is now predicted to head to Tennessee for his collegiate career.

Sanders Jr. narrowed down his choices to the Vols, Nebraska, Ohio State, and Georgia. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound lineman visited Lincoln twice in the last three months.

He took his official visit over Mother’s Day Weekend before returning on July 26 when quarterback Dylan Raiola asked fans to come out and welcome the 2025 recruit to campus.

Sanders Jr. is the reigning Gatorade State Player of the Year in North Carolina after helping Providence Day to another state championship. The Charlotte, North Carolina native is set to announce his commitment on August 17.

Nebraska’s new co-offensive coordinator speaks to media

Nebraska’s new co-offensive coordinator has spoken to the media for the first time since arriving in Lincoln.

Nebraska’s new co-offensive coordinator has spoken to the media for the first time since arriving in Lincoln. Glenn Thomas spoke with the Husker Radio Network earlier this week.

Thomas is joining the program as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He is joining the Cornhuskers after spending the previous season as an offensive assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The new addition to the staff will be taking over the quarterback coach’s position from offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield. Satterfield will now become the team’s tight ends coach on top of remaining the team’s offensive coordinator, replacing position coach Josh Martin.

Thomas and Rhule have a history of working together, as the two previously spent time at Baylor and Temple. He was most recently the offensive coordinator at UNLV from 2020-21 and Arizona State in 2022.

You can find his comments to the media below.

College football analyst gives brutal assessment of Marcus Satterfield

One prominent college football analyst gave a brutal and honest assesment of Nebraska offensive cooridnator Marcus Satterfield.

On Sunday, CBS Sports college football analyst Bud Elliott was asked on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, if he thought that the Nebraska Cornhuskers would have “a shot at any high-level QB transfer?”

Elliott’s reply was short and simple but ultimately brutal on the Huskers’ offensive coordinator. “No way in hell I would sign up to play QB for Satterfield,” he said as a quote-tweet. “But Nebraska does have money so,” he added, referring to the Cornhuskers’ ability to woo a quarterback when it comes to NIL potential.

As the Huskers’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach this season, Satterfield led the Huskers to an abysmal 18.0 points and 312.8 yards per game. Nebraska quarterbacks suffered mightily throughout the season, completing 52.1% of their passes for just 1,631 yards and ten touchdowns while throwing 16 interceptions on the season.

Nebraska only scored 30+ points three times this season and was kept to under 20 points in seven of 12 games while only surpassing the 400+ total yard mark once.

Ultimately, with the Cornhuskers’ defense among the best in the nation, only allowing 18.2 points per game, it will be Satterfield and the offense that carries the brunt of the blame for the Huskers’ season likely not reaching its full potential. Despite posting a top-20 scoring defense, Nebraska finished their first season under Matt Rhule with a 5-7 record, losing each of their last four games, including three games in which they kept opponents to 20 points or fewer.

In their regular-season finale, the Huskers’ defense kept the Iowa Hawkeyes to just 13 points and 257 total yards. Still, the offense could only muster up 10 points of their own as they eventually fell in overtime 13-10.

Ultimately, while Sattersfield’s job appears safe for now, his seat will undoubtedly be warm heading into the 2024 season.

The Huskers will start their 2024 season on August 31 against the UTEP Miners at Memorial Stadium.
