Sims is the heavy favorite to be named the Huskers starting quarterback in fall camp. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound transfer from Georgia Tech spent the past three seasons in the ACC with the Yellow Jackets. He started 23 games and racked up more than 5,500 yards of total offense.

Piper is entering his fifth season with the program and will battle for a starting guard spot along the offensive line. The 6-2, 295-pound Norfolk Catholic product has started 18 games since the 2020 campaign, all at left guard.

Reimer is entering his fifth season as a Husker as well and will be a key piece of Tony White’s 3-3-5 defense. Reimer was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection in both 2021 and 2022. In 38 career games, Reimer has recorded 242 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, four forced fumbles and two interceptions.
