There’s a different feel in every respect around Nebraska’s football program, and that even transcends into the summer camps.

HuskerOnline.com was on hand for the Huskers’ first Individual Camp on Wednesday in Lincoln, and it quickly became clear that there was a different vibe to the entire structure and execution of the event compared to recent years.

Multiple parents of participating players said there was a night-and-day difference in the enthusiasm and individual attention NU’s coaching staff, which included head coach Scott Frost, gave to the camp and the players.

Frost said the day was just business as usual.

“I think our coaches want to give everybody individual coaching and attention because they’re good people and that’s what they feel they should be doing,” Frost said. “It wasn’t a concerted effort, that’s just how our coaches are. I love my staff, and they’re going to do what’s best for whoever they’re working with, and they love to coach.”

Frost and several other assistant coaches were on campus for the camp, including offensive coordinator/receivers coach Troy Walters, quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco, offensive line coach Greg Austin, running backs coach Ryan Held, linebackers coach Barrett Ruud, and defensive line coach Mike Dawson.

But it wasn’t a full-staff effort, as a handful of other coaches were out in Atlanta for the Adidas satellite camp at Kennesaw State.

Frost said he felt it was important for him and his assistants to have as much of a presence as possible not only at the high-profile exposure camps around the country but also back home for their team camps.

“I think there are many reasons you do camps,” Frost said. “One is to help people in your state and in your area, and we try to do that with camps here.

“But we also want to use camps for recruiting, and part of that is getting our coaches out to some areas where we want to see some kids do some things in person. We’re trying to balance those things as best we can.”

Frost added that the roughly 150 campers in Lincoln on Wednesday only solidified his belief that providing opportunities in Nebraska was just as important as scouring the nation for out-of-state prospects.

“It was great to see so many kids out here, especially Nebraska kids that want to be down in Lincoln,” Frost said. “I know our coaches enjoy working with people. It’s just an honor that many people wanted to come and be a part of our family for a day.”
