A Stanley story: Tanner Lee says Morgan has been tutoring McQuitty, while DPE has been working with Tyjon Lindsey.

Love this. We need senior players to buy in and teach the younger, more talented guys so they can get in the mix early. We won't win BIG titles by talent alone, it will take senority and experience to get us there, then we can start stacking talent to compete consistently.

Freshmen defensive linemen have had an impressive summer
With Nebraska’s lack of depth and experience on the defensive line, it’s become clear that both incoming freshmen Deontre Thomas and Damion Daniels are going to be in a position to see immediate playing time.

Both Thomas and Daniels have been here all summer and have already held their own.

“They’re both incredibly hard workers,” Stoltenberg said. “They’ve got awesome attitudes. They came in right away willing to learn. They weren’t trying to be teachers, and I think that’s really important. You come in from high school, a lot of guys have these big egos on them and they think they can come in and contribute right away and that they’re opinion is the highest. But those two, man, they’re awesome workers.

“They kind of remind of the (Khalil and Carlos) Davis with how they came in and worked really hard to try and contribute. I’m excited to see what they can do with actual football pads on.”

-Sean Callahan
 
The death of Bob Elliott this summer forced shuffling on the NU defensive staff, with Scott Booker moving to full-time status to coach safeties and handle special teams.

Nebraska has also added another veteran college football coach to its staff as a defensive consultant for the start of fall camp, Nebraska247 has learned.

Former Western Michigan head coach and Texas defensive coordinator Gary Darnell has joined the Husker staff as a defensive consultant.

Nebraska defensive coordinator Bob Diaco worked under Darnell at Western Michigan in 2004 as a linebackers coach. Darnell served as head coach at Western Michigan from 1997-2004, before moving on to Texas A&M for 2006 and 2007. Darnell also coached at Texas, Florida, Kansas State and several other stops during his coaching career.

The 68-year-old Darnell helped turn around Texas A&M’s defense when he was hired in 2006, taking an Aggie defense that had been No. 107th in total defense in 2005, to No. 37 in 2006.

Darnell has been a head coach at Tennessee Tech and Western Michigan, and served as an interim head coach at Florida and Texas A&M.
