“Death Row” is New Nickname for Huskers’ D-Line

Nebraska’s defensive line has a new nickname for the upcoming season – Death Row. 

The Huskers D-line coach Terrance Knighton was a guest on Thursday’s Sports Nightly on News Talk 900 KJSK.  He said he and his players came up with the nickname and a secret handshake for the linemen. 

Senior starters Nash Hutmacher and Ty Robinson are two of the unit’s leaders.  Juniors Jimari Butler and Elijah Jeudy are also providing leadership, which Knighton says is making his job a lot easier.
