It may be Nebraska’s bye week but that doesn’t mean the coaches are resting. Instead, head coach Mike Riley and his staff will hit the recruiting trail Saturday, making stops all over the country to “spread the red.”
Where will they be heading? The Huskers’ football Twitter shared a series of awesome GIFs that showed exactly where each coach will be this weekend.

Riley and Williams will be heading to Los Angeles, California, and then to Houston, Texas.

Also heading to Los Angeles is running backs coach Reggie Davis. With so many recruits in or around the Los Angeles area, it makes sense for the coaches to head that way. For Davis, he is likely visiting running back Stephen Carr.

Look out, Seattle, Washington. Offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh is heading your way. He will likely head south of Seattle to Graham, Washington, to see five-star offensive tackle Foster Sarell. Sarell took an official visit to Nebraska for the Fresno State game.

Big team heading to Dallas, Texas. Expect them to stop in and say hi to recent defensive tackle commit Deiontae Watts. They may also make a pitstop to say hi to Damion Daniels and Chevin Calloway of Bishop Dunne High School. Both have visited Nebraska already this season.

Last but not least, defensive coordinator Mark Banker will be in Arizona. Tyler Johnson, a four-star athlete, is from Gilbert, Arizona. With the option to play defensive end, Banker likely wants to check in on Johnson.
Safe travels, everyone!
