Northwestern offensive tackle Peter Skoronski is projected as a possible first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Cornhuskers will be led by quarterback Casey Thompson, a transfer from Texas. Thompson was 165-for-261 passing (63.2%) for 2,113 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions last season for the Longhorns.
Thompson replaces Adrian Martinez, who started 38 games for Nebraska but transferred to Kansas State. Martinez is one of two college QBs who enter 2022 with at least 8,000 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards in his career.
“There is growing expectation Nebraska will do well this season with their new quarterback, Texas transfer Casey Thompson,” FOX Bet senior trader Tieme Wesselink stated. “We have also seen movement in their season win total.”
PARLAY PICK: Nebraska -12.5 and over 50.5 combined points scored
