Exclusive Q&A with Nebraska Football's Izaac Dickey

Hey, Oscar fans. Welcome back to the Husker Big Red YouTube channel

And thank you for joining us there on some of the Husker Big Red and the Great Cornholio social channels here

And we have a live stream with a special guest tonight, future Nebraska fullback, Isaac Dickie

And I'm here also with my co-host, Danny Gillette, Chris Peterson, here of huskerbigred.com

Before we get started, make sure you guys hit the subscribe button so you don't miss any of our future content

But, Isaac, how you doing tonight, man? How's it going? Doing pretty good. How about you

Doing great, man. Thanks for joining us. Is it hot there in Nebraska or what's the weather like there

It's been pretty on and off. You know, that's just how Nebraska is

It was raining this morning. Got called up, work got called off. So I was pretty happy about that

Got to go work out twice today. What kind of work do you do

I do landscaping. So I plant trees. I mulch. I do rock

I do a bunch of stuff. sawed, whatnot. Nice. Yeah. And then I also worked for my grandpa as sawmill

So I do a bunch of sawmill work, craftsmanship and stuff like that

So that's pretty cool. That's awesome. Yeah. Do you ever sleep? Oh, yeah

I get plenty of sleep. We actually, so I go to bed by like, I try to get to bed by like 10 each night

because we go to weights at like, I have to be up by like 515. Waits is at six

So that's nice. Go ahead. Danny. Well, I was just going to say thanks for joining us again here, Isaac, and I'll throw it over to you, Danny, for we'll get this Q&A started

You know what I'm getting from this little blip here is that, is that you have very strong work ethic, Isaac, which is good to hear

And, you know, I can't wait to see you at Nebraska. My first question is, you know, when you, I was looking at your high school tape a little bit, your high school highlights, and you did some running, you did some blocking

what do you think is your best skill in terms of running and blocking

And how do you see that translating to the college level in terms of how you want to help out the Nebraska football program

Yeah, for sure. So a big thing for me is just my physicality

Like I'm a bigger guy. Even like for any running back, I'm definitely to be on the bigger side

Like I'll probably come into the program weighing about the same as all the other running backs, fullbacks

So that's like definitely good for me. So blocking wise, I think I'll be able to adapt pretty easily

Just got to be physical at the point of contact. It's all about the point of contact and then driving after that footwork and stuff like that

And I've been during, so last track season, I was really focusing on my speed because, like

I knew I was physically built to play fullback and I could be capable to do it

My biggest thing was I just need to get faster, more agile

Like during the season, I assume you watch the film. I definitely wasn't the most agile runner

but I would run through, I would run through the other guys. So, yeah

That's what you need in the Big Ten. So, I mean, as long as you run through people in the Red Zone

you know, as long as you find paid dirt, you'll immediately be a Husker fan favorite

that's for sure. Yeah, for sure. Go ahead, Chris. I was going to say, I definitely did watch your film

And also just looking at your stats, man, they're really impressive. I know people, you know

you've got the title of being a fullback, but, you know, 21 touchdowns last year, 300 yard games

I mean, you had 846 yards. Like, do you think, I mean, even though you are fullback

do you think that you'd still be able to, you know, make some hay running the football in the future as well for the Huskers

Oh, yeah. So the funny thing about that was last year, I think we rotated like nine running backs one game

Like we just constantly were rotating running backs. We didn't have like any one that was specifically carrying the ball

which that definitely hurt us in the long run. But the last like two games, I think I got like half my yards, so like 400 yards

I was getting like 30 carries a game. So I definitely think I could get some yards playing in the Big Ten as long as I work

at it. My biggest thing is going to be working. So a lot of our running backs graduated last year

So I'm going to be able to carry the rock a lot more. And my coach watched all that film from the Husker camp, and he's really excited to see

me run the ball, of course. So I think the big thing for me will be learning how to play as a running back next year

because I already know like the fullback position, but being a fullback, you have to do everything. That included running back, catching the ball and stuff like that

What type of, just to piggyback really quick, what type of offensive system do you guys kind of run

I guess would you call it? Straight eye, just anything power, you do like

we have blast, power, ISO, outside zone, inside zone, all that sort of stuff

And then since we got Tanner Hollinger, I assume you know Tanner Hollinger. We'll be adding a lot more passing stuff in

And like since we're eight man, it's kind of hard to, it's not hard to pass, but it's just not common for say

But we're going to be doing it a lot more just to open up our run game because that's been the problem in the past

You know, if our run game gets shut down or someone figures out our outside zone or inside zone, we just don't have much else to combat that

Yeah, people don't realize how much you need to run the ball in eight man football

Absolutely. And, you know, you mentioned Isaac, you know, towards the end of the season

in getting around 30 carries a game and, you know, things like that

Do you think that workload has prepared you well for, you know

Big Ten football and the fact that a lot of the Big Ten likes to run the football

Yeah, I'm definitely excited. Like, ever since I started playing fullback or even like football in third grade

And we've just always been like a run first offense even like when we were like in

pee football. So I'm really excited for that. And coming into this my senior year, I'll be able to run a lot more

I'll be able to get used to running the ball, feel for the field, you know

just the flow of the play, where people are going, where to make cuts

how to make juke's and stuff like that. So, yeah. How much, Isaac, did it kind of help you make your choice for Nebraska with the way that

you know, coach rules kind of emphasizing, excuse me, the full back position

I mean, the first play in the spring game, you know, which I'm pretty sure you were there for

you know, the full back give, Coach Solich was there, the fullback camp, you know, which I know you were a part of

So how much did that kind of sell you on, you know, being a Nebraska cornhusker

Because I know you had a lot of other college interest, too. It's not like, you know, this was your only choice

Yeah, for sure. I think the big give for me was when Coach Satterfield was on a, it was like a, he was getting interviewed or something

And he said that he was going to bring back the fullback. And I knew at that point, like, I have a legitimate chance

Because, like, I just know my body. I know I'm capable of, I just have to execute it

And I did that at the camp, as you can see. And I'm just very thankful for that opportunity for my coaches and stuff

just because I've been working so hard for it. And my coaches and teammates have pushed me to be grace I can be

One of the things we heard from Coach Satterfeld in the spring

was that this offense was going to be a physical offense. They were going to run the football a lot, you know

kind of play smash-mouth football. Did you get that sense in talking to the coaches that this was going to be a very physical offense

Yeah, for sure. So just even looking at the running back core that we have right now at Nebraska, you can just tell that we're going to be a physical offense

Like a lot of the guys are 200, 215. They're like, you know, bigger running backs

We, of course, have agile running backs too, which is always like key. You have to have like speed kills, of course

So you have to have that too. But just looking at bringing back the fullback and, of course, having the tight end hybrid

fullback that that will open up the power scheme and being able to physically dominate the other

team even if you only get like four or five yards a pop three yards even it's going to slowly

demoralize them over the games i know you mentioned it we kind of mentioned it before we came on

air talking about you know the mac of vica brothers and you know i throw out you know corey slessinger

but how much does that excite you to you know have a chance to add your name to you know that

legacy of great Nebraska fullbacks. Yeah, it's definitely something that excites me

But personally for me, I just, I'm going to focus on myself

I'm going to do what I'm capable of. I'm going to do my best to live up to those guys because, you know, they're forcing, like, idols to me

Because, like, you know, they played my position. They were amazing at it. They did great

And they came from the same situation that I came from pretty much, small eight-man town

walking on, stuff like that. And working hard is just going to be the big key for me

I've been working hard my whole life. My coaches and teammates have been pushing me

and they've all been working hard to help make me great. So it definitely come What your take on you know kind of the influx of Nebraska talent coming in I mean next year you have Carter Nelson David Hall

I mean, right now you're going to have Jalen Lloyd on the team. You know, there's Malachi Coleman

There's all sorts of Nebraska kids, you know, coming into the program and really talented Nebraska kids

What's your take on all of that? Is it exciting to see so many in-state kids and some players who you're probably

friends with kind of come into the program? Yeah, so I really think it's important. Coming from

homegrown myself, there's like a sense of pride when you're playing for your home like state

team, that being Nebraska. So I feel like it'll just push all of those guys to be just

greater than they can be. It's going to be exciting because having like half the team

homegrown from small towns from all over the place. It's going to be really cool to see how everyone adapts, how we become a family

Like I'm already in a group chat with all of the 2024 commits

It just already feels like a family feel. Everyone can talk about whatever they want, you know, it's whatever

That's awesome, man. That's a, those are good words to hear. I know building that culture and having that family atmosphere is definitely important to

you know, if you want to win down the road for sure. Yeah. So we have a fan question that we'd like to ask from Cornhusker Corner is the screen name

So this is for you, Isaac. Have they pitched the position to you as a traditional fullback or is it like a tight end Hback type position that they are calling fullback

So I'm being, I got recruited strictly as a fullback, not an Hback

But you know from the press conference with Coach Safiel, he said like tight ends and fullbacks as in like

they're both going to be doing the same kind of job, but they're actually bringing fullbacks onto the roster for a specific position

not just listed as tight ends, of course. But they're going to be doing separate things, of course

because a tight end is not normally going to line up an eye when you have a fullback that can play back there in the back field

Now, how do some of the things that you've done a fullback

in terms of skill set and, and agility kind of translate to the linebacker position because I read that you've played

outside linebacker and middle linebacker as well. Is it a big leap in position or does your

athleticism kind of take over even though you're on the other side of the football, so to speak

Yeah, so when it comes down to it, playing both sides of the ball just comes down to you being an

athlete and being able to adapt to different side of the ball because offense is a whole different

game than defense. That's why most people just get recruited for one side of the ball

Very few people can play offense and defense. And being from a small town, almost everyone on our team plays offense and defense

So it's just kind of like a cool feel. We get to see both sides of the ball. And the funny thing about it was last year, our noseguard actually went down with an injury

So I took his spot at noseguard. So I think that was a really good feel for me of like physicality at the line, being able to have to make moves to get past and just extension, ripping, stuff like that

How much have you thought of, you know, like you were talking about full backs and like tight ends and hbacks and kind of being somewhat interchangeable

How much, I know a lot of those guys tend to play on special teams

And I feel like that could potentially be, you know, a place for you to earn some snaps

Are you looking as that as an opportunity, you know, your first year on campus to try to get on the field is through special teams

Oh, 100%. I'm going to do anything in my power to get on the field first year

I'm going to do anything to impress the coaches. I'm going to work my butt off in the wait room

I'm going to try to lead the other freshmen to be, you know, what they're capable of

Great. It's going to be a learning curve, you know, coming from 8 man to 11 man, but from talking with my coach, he played 8 man and then went to 11 man college

He says it's not that weird, so I'm not too worried about it. But I'm excited

What's your take? I kind of want to get your thoughts on this on the Big 10 expansion

coming up with USC and UCLA coming into the conference. Do you look at that as a sort of challenged

Are you excited for it? Kind of optimistic, nervous. What's your thoughts on that

With the state Nebraska's in right now, with the, I'd say, rebuild year

with Coach Rule coming in, bringing a whole new staff, a bunch of new recruits

I think it'll actually be a good change of pace for Nebraska. It'll be new competition

You'll get to see a whole different type of offense. defense from a whole different conference. And I think it'll just be good in the end

You mentioned earlier, you know, we know with Coach Ruhl and in this coaching staff that they

really value speed. And I know people don't necessarily think of speed with a fullback

but I know that you're more than just a fullback. And so you're a hundred meter time

It's like 11.11, right? Like you're pretty close to breaking. So just tell us about

you know, kind of your speed. And do you think you're going to be, you know

taking that 11 second barrier in the 100 meters before you get to Nebraska. Oh, yeah, that's my fun

I want to get that before it's Nebraska. I want to get to a sub 10. That'd be really awesome

The big problem for me, when I do like the 100 meter dash, I beat every single person

off the start. But once I get to 50, 60 meters, I start to lose the stride war

And like I just, that's going to be like a big adaptation or learning curve for me to get over

because it's just like when you get to the 60 meters 50 meter mark it's all about form

when you're coming out of the start it's about form too but like also just like how

explosive that person is if you're explosive you're probably going to beat the other guys off the

line and that's what i got going for me like my 40 times of 466 so i got the explosiveness

but when i get to the latter end of the running it slows down

now one of the big things that you know matt rule and the rest of the nabrials

Aska coaching staff is kind of prioritizing is the family atmosphere as it relates to, you know, how coach, you know, interacts with the players and things like that

Do you get that sense with coach and, you know, I see all his energy on top, you know, all the time, whether it be on the recruiting trail or, you know, sending out a tweet

Do you get that feeling of excitement and energy and family that, you know, he wants to bring to the program

Oh, yeah, 100%. So the Sunday that I committed, the first thing I did after I committed was go to lift

So I was like hitting legs and stuff. And all of a sudden my phone started blowing up with like a bunch of texts

It was the whole coaching staff sending me text saying, what's up? Thank you. Like we're excited to have you

And they, yeah, just all were communicating with me. It was really cool. And then like even I think it was two days ago, coach Barthel called me and he's on vacation

He just wanted to check up with me and see how I was doing. He's like really excited to have me

He wanted to talk to my family sometime this week. And then today I had coach fully DM me or text me saying what's up, how you doing

He's on vacation too. And he's just texting a bunch of guys. So it really feels like a family

They care about you. They want to develop you as a person and a player. So yeah

That's awesome. I was just that kind of leads into my next question because I know when you get recruited sometimes

it's different coaches. So I didn't know, you know, who maybe if there's a couple, but who are the coaches

that you've kind of grown the most close to or if there's one that, you know, you kind of

talk to more in recruiting, whether, you know, E.J. Barthel or Coach Foley or, you know, whoever

I would probably say coach Barthel, since he's my position coach. So I've had the most

communication with him. I would also say, coach, when I went back when, so during the springtime

I went down for a practice, like one of the spring practices. And Coach Ellsworth was the one that

invited me. He, I really like talking to him. He's really nice. And I definitely got

closer with him and then coach fully and when i get i'm excited because i haven't been down to a visit

yet to Nebraska because it's dead period right now otherwise i would have went right after i committed

so i'll be getting down there a couple weeks hopefully what do you know about the fan support

of Nebraska i mean obviously we're like a crazy passionate bunch but what but what do you know

about you know the fans and their you know love for this program it it's it

It's special to say the least. You can't find any other fan base like Nebraska on social media in person, wherever

that may be And like reading through comments or quote tweets or like through a bunch of like comments on websites and stuff the amount of support the fans give the players and want to push them to you know achieve their goals and to push Nebraska to be great is just insane

And like they want to see, they want to see you develop as a person, a player. They want to see you advance through the years, earn a scholarship, whatever that may be

I wanted to ask you, you know, it seems like it's probably a good chance that you grew up and were a Nebraska fan, you know, I'm guessing

But just how much, you know, have you kind of growing up as a fan and living in the state of Nebraska, like how much has this been a dream of yours to, you know, play at Lincoln Memorial Stadium and, you know, put on that helmet and walk out of that tunnel and all that type of stuff

Yeah, so like ever since I was probably like seven or something like something like that, I was going to games pretty regularly

My grandparents had like season tickets and stuff. So I'd go like two, three games a year

It was really cool. I have like pictures of me on the practice field and a three point stance from when I was like 10

And I have a bunch of pictures with me having a jersey on in the stands with my dad

It's just really cool. Like I don't even think I've really processed it yet to be honest

Like that day, my heart was pounding. It was just felt unreal and it still feels unreal to this day

Like I'll get a call from coach and I'm like, wow, this is really happening

Like I've made it to this goal. Now I just need to achieve the next goal

You mentioned one of the coaches that you've, you know, become close with is E.J. Barthel

What's something that stands out about him from a coaching standpoint? Because I've seen, you know, some of his videos during, you know, practices and he's very passionate, very, you know

kind of wants the best out of his players. What's something that stands out to you about him

His, I'd say his charisma and his just enthusiasm for the game and for just you as a player

When I was at the spring practice, I specifically walked around with him because I knew if I was

going to be a beginner career as be as a fullback or a running back. So I walked around with him

watched him practice the amount of excitement and energy he brought to the running back room

in the group during their drills, their warm-ups, their plays. It was just crazy

The whole staff was going crazy. One thing, you know, I've noticed with this staff, it seems like, you know

Coach Rule is really kind of investing in that walk-on program, trying to get it back to, you know

the days of, you know, the Tom Osborne air when it was really, you know, one of the backbones

of, you know, the national championship program. Is that one thing that made you, you know, want to commit us a walk-on

because I'm sure that, you know, if you haven't yet, I'm sure you'd have scholarship opportunities elsewhere

So I guess talk about that, you know, kind of passing up, you know, a chance at a scholarship to, you know, walk on and try to earn a scholarship at Nebraska

Yeah. I had to actually, so a couple weeks before I went to the fullback camp

I had like a sit-down conversation with my parents talking to them about

if I was given the opportunity. I would love to walk on. And they were all for it just because looking back at the tradition

and just how much it means to Nebraska, all the Nebraska fans, and just everyone

it's just important to the state of Nebraska in general. And I feel like it was really needed

And I feel like I can definitely prove myself. I knew my capabilities

and I still do know my capabilities, and I'm going to keep working as hard as I can to achieve my goal

The final goal is to earn that scholarship, and then, of course, win as many games as possible

through to the Big Ten that we're back. That would be awesome as a fan

I would absolutely love that. But, you know, I guess my next question is, you know

what's one goal that you have set for yourself as you come into Nebraska

I mean, you know, we've talked with some other, you know, commits and they all have, you know, one goal that they want to achieve

What would be yours for your Nebraska career? I would probably say earn the respect of the fans, players, and coaches, your teammates, whoever that may be, prove to them that you can be great, that you aren't going to be a bust, that you aren't just, yeah

You're saying all the right things. I'll give you that. But that's awesome

We have another fan question here. I'll throw it out, T I'll add on to it. I'm not quite

sure the name has something to do with Bangkok. So, I mean, you know, Simon, I'm not sure

I'm not sure if they're trying to make a joke with the name. So it, but at any rate, there's a comment first that fullback

It's so exciting to get back in the big red, kind of the focus on fullback. And then the question, what are you squatting

And I'll also add in there, what are you benching? Well, what's the squad and what are the bench numbers

All right. So I'll actually give you like a rundown of all my measurable. So I'm 510

I'm 212, 213. I'm also, fun fact, I'm also lactose intolerance. So otherwise, I'd be able to gain a lot more weight

I'm going to be calling the nutritionist next week to talk about that and stuff. And, yeah

Yeah, so my measurables, 46640. My vert's 349. My squat is, I think, five, I think I got 565 last week

And I'm going for six plates this week, probably. My bench is 370

My deadlift is 600. and my cleanest 350. That's impressive. I should follow it up

So the name is Sim and I live in Bangkok, Thailand, guys. That's what he said. All right

There you go. Thanks for the question, Sim. Now we got the measurables and they're pretty impressive

466. I like that for a full back. And then my, I think my PR for like a pro agility is like 4-2 flat

That's why I've been working on a lot too. Just change of directions is such a big. factor being able to make like short fast cuts at the next level those numbers are certainly better than

mine i'll give you that um but um so you mentioned you know a nutritionist and you're going to talk

to a nutritionist you know that was one of mat rules kind of big things too was to get an in-house

nutritionist you know get a get a you know meal program for the team and kind of you know

emphasize health and nutrition um you know what's what's it been like kind of kind of

of seeing how the nutritionist works and the dietary plans and things like that because

I imagine coach has his hand in that quite a bit as well. Yeah, so I honestly don't know much about it yet

I've already talked to like the nutritionist and weights coach that I want to get, when I

go on a visit, I want to like sit down and talk to them about it, get to know what the

game plan is going to be, what a day looks like, what I would be eating a day just so I can

get a hold of things and kind of try to get used to it beforehand. But yeah, I don't, I don't know much about it right now

As far as I know, it's going to be really good because they have nutritionists

they have doctors, this is all on staff, and then they have weights coach, multiple weights coach

and stuff like that. Tell me a little bit, I know you play eight-man football

Is there, tell me about, like, your team, are you guys, like, you know, state title contender

Like, what's the, what's the kind of the forecast, the 4-1? one for this upcoming season. Yeah, for sure. So I'm going to start back in my sophomore year

because that's kind of like where things all started for me. So we had a really good team our

sophomore year. I was lucky enough to start fullback as a sophomore. We ended up making a run

to the state championship where we would, we ended up being kind of killed. But it was a big

learning curve for all of us because I was the only, me and one more sophomore were the only one

starting. His name's Alex Noid. But we ended up losing that. of course, but it helped give me experience for our junior year, where we had, I think

seven sophomore, or seven, we may a phrase that, seven juniors starting at like all time

all times. So we were a really young team, of course, because like five, six of those

dudes have never played high school football, like on Friday night lights. So it's like a big jump

in the difference. So we ended up getting knocked off first round of playoffs, which was

really unexpected, to be honest, because we went eight and no in the regular season

kind of clean sweep to almost every team. So it was just really weird

But going into this year, we have almost all of our team back. We have Tanner Hollinger, who's committed to Illinois

He's 240-ish, 6-5. I could be very, I could be wrong. But then we have Alex Noid

He 5 2 linebacker He a dog that for sure to say the least And then we have a bunch of guys It going to be really exciting because my whole team is they won it

They knew how bad it hurt last year of losing. And we all only have one more go-around

And I think they all understand that and get the gist, you know, this is our kind of last chance to prove to our community that we can win the state championship

And we all know we can. We've been lifting ever since we were in third grade, four days a week, all year round at 6 a.m

And it's just a really cool atmosphere across County, honestly. It's different because we have like an actual weights coach that he just volunteers to come up

He used to be a weights coach like North Dakota, North Dakota. And, yeah, it's just really cool

That's awesome. Well, good luck this year, man. I hope you guys get that state championship. I lost the state championship games

so I know I have to live with that. So hopefully you get her done. Absolutely

What are your thoughts on playing in the Big Ten conference as a whole

You have to, you know, play Ohio State, the Michigan, you know, the Penn State

Have you given any thought to, you know, what it's going to be like facing those teams

I mean, those are some pretty daunting tasks, to say the least

Oh, yeah, for sure. I definitely think it'll be a struggle my freshman sophomore year

I'm going to put on as much weight as possible. I think I'll be able to come out of high school weighing 220

So I honestly think that might be a fine weight for freshman year. And I'm not too worried about it, honestly

I know what our team is going to be capable of. I know the personnel we have, the drive, the team that the drive that we will be able to have

and we'll be able to push each other to be great. what's your i know you play kind of a you know a little bit a little bit of running back and

in fullback and whatnot when you're when you're kind of the blocking type or the lead block

what what what is your mentality i don't know how much you know you do that right now but like

what's your what's your mentality for just like trying to find someone and hit somebody as a

fullback and kind of clearing a path for somebody yeah like so since we're like in eight man

school I have a really close bond with all my guys on the team and like Tanner I've been best buddies

with since I was in second grade since I came here so I feel like it's more of like a personal thing

you know the person that you're blocking for is your best friend that same same will transfer over

to college and stuff but you don't want that person to get hurt tackled you know you're going to lay

the wood on the other guy you're going to lay him out you're going to do the best you can to

open that gap so you guys can score touchdown and, you know, win the game in the end

What's it been like working with Coach Campbell in terms of strength and conditioning

Because I've seen pictures of him and he is absolutely jacked. Like he's a monster in the best way possible

Yeah. I honestly haven't worked with him at all. I'm going to be talking to him when I get, go for my visit

But when he was, so when we were at the fullback camp, he talked for a while. A lot of the coaches talked for a while

But from what I hear, it's going to be really insane, especially with the new weight room coming in the new nutrition area being developed and made

It'll be really cool. How was that, was the full back camp like different

Or how did that kind of meet your expectations and just how cool was that for Nebraska to put on a full back camp

Yeah. Going into like the full back camp, I didn't know what to expect

like I'd been to normal camps and stuff like you know you have all positions there and whatnot

so I was kind of just like prepping for the camp just working at my footwork speed pro agility and

stuff like that when I got to the camp it was it was a one kind of experience for sure I would definitely

suggest that you let's a full back go to it just because it was really cool so when we got there

we did like all of our measurables and stuff and then after our measurables we sat down on like in front of

like a big screen. And we were all in our separate chairs

We were given like a notepad with a pen. And we went over like the history of the fullback

And then we went into like three separate sections kind of. So like blocking, passing, running, like the three kind of core things that

fullback will do. They'll do everything. So we talked about, we would say we would talk about like running the ball

We would write some notes down and then we would go practice running the ball, wherever that'd be a bunch of different drills

and then we'd go sit back down, write down some more stuff about passing the ball or catching the ball

then we would go get some catches. It was really cool. One of the things I heard about, you know, these camps is that the assistant coaches and even Matt Ruhle were very hands-on throughout the camps

They didn't just relax. They were extremely involved. Can you kind of attest to that

Was that the case at the fullback camp as well? Oh, yeah. All the coaches were running a select station because, you

you have like, you pretty much have like four or five different classes of guys at the camp

You have like freshman, sophomore, juco, seniors and stuff like that. So like there was like four or five different groups and you had certain coaches at each group

You had coach Barthel running a group by himself. You had coach Ellsworth running a group by himself

Coach Ruhl was walking around looking at certain people. Then he was like pulling, then you have like Barthel and Coach Rueh, pull people to the side and do like select workouts and stuff like that if they liked what they saw

So it was really cool. That is really cool. It's probably a lot of pressure, I guess, to perform, though, huh

I was just, I was really happy with how I performed, starting with my 40 time

And then it just all kind of stacked on top of each other. And I got, I think I got pulled into, I got pulled into a separate full, but four of us

fullbacks actually got pulled into a separate group. And they, like, videoed, like, some pro agility stuff of us running

And then we got pulled up into, like, the players lounge after came. up us for and then this is like the cool part we were actually seeing at like a the round

table like there's a round there's like a round table we were talking to coach barthel and stuff

he was getting our numbers and whatnot and coach fully is like sitting at door he like

looks at me and like points at me and tells me to come like I get out and he pulled me into

coach rule's office because he coach rule and to talk to me which was really cool that's awesome

that had to feel good going to coach rule's office yeah um that's sweet man well I definitely

Yeah, go for it, Danny. I just have one more question. I've heard a lot about, you know, Coach Foley and his enthusiasm and his excitement

You know, he was all over the state during the offseason recruiting. And it seemed like he never slept

Like, can you kind of, you know, from your interactions with him, do you sense that level of excitement and enthusiasm

Oh, yeah. He brings a different type of energy. Like, you have all the other coaches bringing this type of energy, which is like really high still

I mean, you got Coach Foley up here just being crazy. And then you have Omar Coach Hales, Omar Hales up there too

It's just crazy. The energy the whole staff brings is unreal. It just really, like, it definitely lighten the mood of practice made people want to practice good, you know

It was just really cool. I just had kind of one final question, Isaac

And then if Danny has any others, we can, he can ask her. We can kind of wrap it up there

But just what, you know, what would you say to, you know, Nebraska fans

that, you know, what should they expect to see from you, you know, out on the field here

over the next, you know, a few years as you, you know, build your Nebraska football career

I'm going to be getting out on the field as any way possible special teams, wherever that may

be, kickoff, kickoff return, wherever they need me, wherever I work hard to get to that spot

I'll be on the field. I'm going to work as hard as I can. Push people to be great

Try to be a leader. I'm just going to try to be optimistic about anything that may come our way and whatnot

Cool, man. Well, I think Danny said that he's all set for questions

So, yeah, we'll wrap it up there. But thanks a lot for joining us, Isaac
