Lindy’s Sports Annuals put Bo Ruud on the cover and is running an article about his move to strongside lineback for his senior season.
“They’re putting me in a position this year to be in the mix a lot. Really, I like what they’re doing with me.”
What the Huskers are doing, coach Bill Callahan said, is trying to take advantage of Ruud’s versatility.
“We love the fact that he’s a complete player with a lot of upside,” Callahan said. “He has a lot of potential to do a lot of great things.”
One of Ruud’s strengths is his pass-coverage ability. The 6-3 Ruud has intercepted four passes and broken up 10 others in the past two seasons.
Steve Octavien, a talented player whose development has been slowed by injuries, will play the weakside position this fall.
