Here is how I see the three deep at this point...
QB: Gibbs/Heide, Nelson (I'm one of those folks that is really hyped about Gronowski).
RB: Strong, Wilson, Blakley
FB: Morgan, Madison
WR1: Cade Johnson, Bauer, VanderWerf
WR2: Jaxon Janke, Jadon Janke
WR3: Campbell, Dailey Jr, Leighton
TE: Kunz/Heins, Cavanaugh, Kraft
LT: Donald/Titus, Vibert
LG: Lickiss/McCormick, Beerntsen
C: Genant, Strohbeen
RG: Miller, Gruetzmacher, Bloomendrader (moved from TE)
RT: Aron Johnson, Greenfield, Bass
DE1: Winkelman, Terveer, Caden Johnson
DE2: Ogunrinde, Hicks, Elijah Wilson
DT: Ward, Krolikowski, Van Marel
NT: Sanders, Stacker, DePriest
SLB: Levi Brown, Barnett, Williamson
MLB: Backhaus, Tetzlaff, Madison/Spalding/Motzko
WLB: Seven Wilson, Shafer/Bock/Spalding
CB1: Gardner, Davis, Union
CB2: Evans, Gales, Gandy
CB3: Harris, Lofton
S1: Manchigiah, Norblade, Berg
S2: Griffin II, DeMartra, Darnell
That defense is ridiculous. On offense, anytime you replace your LT there is cause for concern. I'm slightly concerned about depth at WR but with Cade and Jaxon there will be plenty of top-end talent (assuming ball security issues will be fixed) and Stig has eluded to Jadon not being far behind his brother. Bauer and Dailey Jr had really good freshmen seasons. Leighton was a star of the 2019 offseason so we'll see what he can bring to the 2020 squad. This depth factors in ZERO of the 2020 recruits and there are a number who will compete for reps.
Caution to those who think the Jackrabbit playoff run is over! This roster is still LOADED.
I was looking at this list above from WestSide and we can scratch Diamond Evans as a potential starter at corner and remove CJ Wilson as the #2 RB. Then I started to look at the depth and specifically which true freshmen will likely see significant playing time. What are your thoughts on the way too early projections of who will likely not have a redshirt at the end of the season?
QB: Mark Gronowski (Just don't see anyway he doesn't keep his redshirt.)
RB: Isaiah Davis, Kenyetta Williams, Avian Thomas
WR: Devon Cole Jr., A.J. Coons, Nate Sullivan Jr.
TE: Wyatt Seagren
OL: Jalen Lee, Colby Christensen, Gus Miller, Adam White
DE: Max Baloun, Mitch Eichacker, Randy Keumogne
DL: Brandon Lane, Max VanMeter
LB: Isaac Appleget, Adam Kusler, Caleb Francl, Aaron Kusler
DB: Dalys Beanum, Abe Hoskins III, Daeton Mcgaughy, Cale Reeder, Steven Arrell
LS:Jaden Mueller
K/P: Hunter Dustman
I didn't include Isaiah Stalbird, defensive back transfer from the Huskers in this discussion. I don't know his eligibility status for this fall. If eligible, he plays. He was arguably the best on special teams for the Huskers last year and was second on the depth chart at times at safety.

He seems the most logical and brown and Wilson on the outside. Would you you put in the middle?

Honestly, we've been so spoiled at Mike with long term starters I was hoping another freshman would step right into the roll. We essentially went from Johnson to Lalley to Rozeboom. I realize Levi needs to get on the field as well. This is definitely a good problem to have.
On a separate note it's hard to believe how much talent the defensive side has lost over the last 10 years or so. With Evan's leaving this year and urbanek retiring shake Taylor's and others."The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer

I’d say this is good news.
