Nebraska’s football practice on Wednesday morning was open to the local media, and social media reactions are pouring in. One of the most significant pieces of news today was former Texas Tech transfer Devin Drew officially being cleared by the Nebraska football staff for full participation in fall camp. The 6-2, 280-pound Defensive Lineman played in 20 games over the last two years and logged 55 total tackles and .5 sacks during his tenure as a Red Raider.
Reporters also saw head coach Scott Frost and offensive coordinator Mark Whipple working with the first team offense on read-option drills, which could be further proof that the Huskers will still be running the quarterback in 2022. There was also a Thomas Fidone sighting at the practice. The tight end was the top recruit at his position in 2020 and was the highest-rated recruit to sign with NU since 2008. The Iowa native suffered a knee injury before the 2021 season and is still rehabbing with medical staff. Scroll below to see social media reactions to Wednesday morning’s workout.
We are officially 17 days from the season-opening kickoff, in which Nebraska will face Northwestern in Dublin, Ireland. Stay tuned to Cornhuskers Wire for all the latest news!

Watched about 45 minutes of Nebraska football practice today. Camp chatter coming but Devin Drew was in pads doing the whole deal. Looks the part. Bigger than Deontre Thomas by just a bit. #huskers

RB1? Clearly, Rahmir Johnson and Jaquez Yant remain in the mix, but these two guys — Gabe Ervin and Anthony Grant — are leading the way with their performance in the few minutes I’ve watched this morning.
And Bryan Applewhite is vocal in coaching them all. pic.twitter.com/qMT6tbkmmc

Thomas Fidone ran stadium stairs during a portion of practice. TBD on his return, but the #Huskers TE is working his way back from a knee injury suffered this spring. pic.twitter.com/GuttY5c9iH

First thing I saw out here this morning was Scott Frost working with the QBs and OC Mark Whipple on a drill that included read-option pitches. pic.twitter.com/kxnxz2qJxo

Looking at some QB-RB combos at Nebraska practice.
Seeing a lot of Thompson and Gabe Ervin together in the backfield.
Anthony Grant has worked w/Thompson, Purdy and Haarberg. Jaquez Yant paired w/Purdy; Rahmir Johnson w/Haarberg; Cooper Jewett and Emmett Johnson w/Smothers.
