Shit. I already made inquiries on behalf of NU to the crazy gum chewer SP coach of the Steelers.
I'll call them back.

Thank Jank the Tank. After the intensity of a workday, it's a challenge to deep dive into much more than a few ridiculous comments on a random message board.
Geez, I'm starting to sound like Deano.
There is no word bad enough to describe him.
Nah. By student sucks.
Spent waaaayyyy too long on 247. Guys a douche.
Yeah he’s far beyond just being an Eeyore. Hes an expert on pretty much every topic that comes up. Never wrong.
Yup. Insufferable. When he is wrong he’ll never own it. He’ll try to spin it so he’s actually right
So I caved and paid for a month on their USC site to read the USC board thread linked above. It was bugging me that I was reading interpretations of the blocked thread without being able to verify what was being said.
According to the admin starting the thread, USC's front office wants to make some changes on special teams. I'm wording that intentionally. They want to make changes. They haven't yet though. Their current ST coach is still hired as of this point. Ekeler is the only one named in the thread as a "possible candidate". There are "other names" being considered, but it sounds like, according to the admins, Ek would be the guy they would like to reach out to first. But there "may be other candidates in the queue that (USC 247) hasn't heard about." They also mention he is from Nebraska, noting the local ties.
Nothing is said about mutual interest. So it still feels like a hot board that USC's front office is throwing darts at. I'll admit I would feel a bit better if they had other names to throw up there with his.
All in all, kind of a strange post for that much info on a position that has yet to be even be open. And I feel news like this would generally spread quicker through the Husker community than it has tonight.
@HuskerGarrett this might still be worth looking into.

Ekeler is great but it seems a little odd that, of all the guys in the country, they would just happen to throw his name out there.
Who didn't bet the Texans tonight?
Not sure if this is up to date but doesn’t have him signed or committed anywhere yet.
