Recruiting Analyst

Nebraska held its annual skill positions camp Friday morning which had a turnout of roughly 250 prospects that worked out inside Memorial Stadium for three hours.

HuskerOnline.com was there for the action and brings you some of the top performers at each position below.

Quarterbacks

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound Thramer was one of the most consistent quarterbacks on Friday and showed accuracy and nice touch on his passes.

2019 Gilbert (Ariz.) Perry quarterback D'Shayne James looked to be one of the top underclassmen at his position on Friday. (Nate Clouse)

Running backs

2019 RB Andrew Graves, 5-8, 170 - Festus (Mo.) Jefferson

2020 Bellevue (Neb.) West wide receiver Zavier Betts was among the top standouts at his position Friday morning. (Nate Clouse)

Wide receivers

Liewer showed off excellent hands and body control during NU's skills camp.

Betts doesn't look like your average wide receiver that just finished up his freshman year of high school. He had an excellent showing at the Nebraska State 7-on-7 tournament Thursday and flashed his talent several times Friday morning at NU's skills camp. He's certainly an up and coming prospect to know in the state.

2018 Lincoln (Neb.) Southwest's Cameron Pieper was a standout at tight end Friday. (Nate Clouse)

Tight ends

2019 TE Casey Clanton (6-3, 200) Phoenix (Ariz.) Central

2018 TE Joao Godoy (6-2, 200) Waco (Neb.) Nebraska Lutheran

2019 Lincoln (Neb.) Southwest linebacker Caden McCormack in coverage during one-on-ones. (Nate Clouse)

Linebackers

McCormack is very well put together physically and has nice speed and awareness that helped him and show off his coverage skills during the one-on-one portion of the camp.

2018 Lincoln (Neb.) Pius X linebacker and running back Chris Cassidy was one of the most physically impressive prospects at NU's skills camp Friday. (Nate Clouse)

2018 LB Kage Jesperson (6-1, 226) Hemingford, Neb.

Defensive backs

2019 DB Khalil Mester (6-0, 172) Shreveport (La.) Northwood

2019 DB Cameron Kleinschmidt (5-8, 168) Sutton, Neb.

2020 DB Dylan Zoucha (5-10, 162) Malcolm, Neb.
