Redshirt freshman Christian Gaylord is part of an impressive collection of young talent on the Husker offensive line. The 6-6, 300-pound Gaylord spent his first season at Nebraska adding power in the Huskers’ strength and conditioning program while working on the NU scout team.Gaylord is one of several players who have an opportunity to earn playing time at tackle, where NU lost three players to graduation following the 2015 season. During spring ball, Gaylord spent the majority of his time working with the No. 2 offense at left tackle.
After the sorrow-filled week that surrounded Husker football, one that ended with teammates attending the funeral of one of their leaders, Sam Foltz, just five weeks before the season opener, there is no easy transition from real-life heartache to the on-field obstacles that pale in comparison.
