The battle for Nebraska’s starting corner opening is far from over, but through 10 spring practices, there appears to be an early leader in the clubhouse.
After playing 149 snaps defensive snaps in 2020, sophomore Quinton Newsome has pulled ahead of the pack according to secondary coach Travis Fisher.
“Right now, Quinton Newsome is doing a very good job at that spot,” Fisher said. “A lot of guys are doing great jobs, but Quinton Newsome is doing a great job at that spot.”
Newsome is in a three-man battle with sophomores Braxton Clark and Nadbab Joseph. It’s been Newsome’s attention to detail that has given him the early leg up.
