Staff writer Derek Peterson continues his annual series looking at some of the highest-potential players on Nebraska's roster heading into the new season. The fourth spot goes to inside linebacker Collin Miller.

The 2019 season has officially come to an end, which means its time to turn our sights toward 2020. With Nebraska locking in most of its recruiting class during the early signing period, now is a good time to take stock of where the roster stands. Next up is a look at the linebackers.
