Trey Palmer an emerging return candidate
Nebraska special teams coordinator Bill Busch appeared on "Sports Nightly" on Monday night, and he broke down all of the updates on his unit.
One of the more intriguing spots is the Huskers' search for a return man in both the kick return and punt return games. Busch discussed LSU transfer Trey Palmer, who returned a kick and punt return for a touchdown with the Tigers, as an option in both units.
“It takes a grown man to be back there in those situations,” Busch said. “But he (Palmer) tracks the ball very, very naturally. So that part of that is really good.”
Check out Steve Marik's full breakdown of Busch's discussion.
