Malachi Coleman jumped up and down on the sidelines of Nebraska’s indoor practice field, excited at what he saw. In a season where 11 Husker freshmen featured on either offense or the defense, the impact of players like Coleman and Jaylen Lloyd stands out to head coach Matt Rhule. A junior college addition, Wallin has added 40 pounds of body weight over the course of the season, defensive line coach Terrance Knighton said two weeks ago. Kicker Tristan Alvano, a Day 1 starter, was the only Husker freshman to appear in all 12 games this season. There will always be additions and subtractions, but the success of Rhule’s first recruiting class has already shown that his long-term developmental plan is kicking into action.
