Nebraska newcomer Ochaun Mathis said he needed time this summer to acclimate. Mathis, a highly regarded edge rusher, worked out in the time after he choose to leave TCU, but the intensity increased in Lincoln. “It was the hardest first two weeks of anything,” he said. pic.twitter.com/lYUbMDa7bP

Mathis recorded 45 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks for the Horned Frogs as a senior. He was named Second Team All-Big 12 in 2020 and 2021. Mathis’ experience should be a welcome addition to a Huskers defensive line that finished 98th in sacks in 2021. Garret Nelson led the Huskers in sacks with 5.
TCU transfer Ochaun Mathis is at the podium now.

The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Wynn appeared in 7 games for the Crimson Tide. Overall, Wynn played sparingly in his four-year career at Alabama. He recorded just five tackles as a senior. Wynn will look to increase his role in Lincoln.
Most notably, Wynn admitted he’s impressed by the leadership in place with the Huskers. He especially praised new teammate Garrett Nelson and his leadership capabilities.

Both players appear to be confident heading into this season. If anything, head coach Scott Frost should be optimistic about their comments heading into Nebraska’s game against Northwestern.
