Nebraska's revamped offense aims for improvement under new coaching staff
Summary

Nebraska's football team is undergoing significant changes to its offensive line for the 2026 season. Following a disappointing 2025 campaign that saw the team ranked 115th nationally, Nebraska has hired offensive line coordinator Geep Wade and run-game coordinator Lonnie Teasley to improve the unit's performance. The projected starting lineup features experienced players, including Elijah Pritchett and Justin Evans, with the latter recognized as a preseason All-American. Improved quarterback mobility, particularly after the arrival of TJ Lateef, may further enhance the offensive line's effectiveness. The cohesion of this revamped group will be crucial in determining its success this season.
