David Knevel: He’s spent three seasons preparing for this chance. All of the weight-room workouts, the on-field drill work, the individual film work. Knevel is finally a favorite to earn a starting job, no longer viewed as a developmental project who could grow while veterans handled the on-field duties. This time, it’s the 6-foot-9, 315-pound junior-to-be from Canada who will enter spring as the example-setting first-teamer. The expectations suddenly rise. Is Knevel ready for the increased role? He’s barely played, always labeled as a guy still trying to put it all together. The Huskers certainly need him to figure it out. They don’t have many options at offensive tackle. From OWH Behind Gates, there are few proven tackles, but 6-foot-9 junior David Knevel will get the first crack, with redshirt freshman Christian Gaylord and perhaps fifth-year senior Corey Whitaker potentially emerging. The competition should be fierce, and it needs to be.
