Huskers Target 2026 Breakout Trio: Colandrea, Nwaneri, Hunter
Nebraska is looking for its next breakout star after Emmett Johnson, naming quarterback Anthony Colandrea, edge Williams Nwaneri, and wide receiver Nyziah Hunter as the top candidates for 2026. Colandrea must prove consistency against a Big Ten slate, Nwaneri must translate flashes into a game-changing pass rush, and Hunter could push for a 1,000-yard receiving season with more targets; other players like Mekhi Nelson, Isaiah Mozee, Jamal Rule, and Jacory Barney Jr. are also in the mix.
