As we prepare for another round of high school football highlights, we’re taking a quick look back on how the future Nebraska Huskers performed in week six. It wasn’t quite a full week for all of the Husker commits, as Broc Bando and Brenden Jaimes both received BYE weeks. The commits that did play last Friday performed well, with Tristan Gebbia’s 500-yard passing performance being the headliner. The commits will look to keep the success coming this weekend, with several big games scheduled for Friday.
