Running back Rahmir Johnson
***A native of New York City, Rahmir Johnson said returning to his home city to finish his college career was “very fitting.” He said 50-75 family and friends would be at the game.He grew up in Harlem, about 10 minutes from Yankee Stadium. His family now lives in Brooklyn, which is about 45 minutes away.
***Johnson said many of his teammates were excited about going to NYC, including many who had never been there. He thought it would be an experience guys would remember for the rest of their lives.
***Being one of the older players on the team, Johnson said he tries to offer as much advice and help as he can to younger players navigating the new college football landscape.
***Even though he battled injuries again, Johnson said he “wouldn’t change a thing” about his final season as a Husker. He called his college career “adventurous” and added: “I’m glad I’m a Husker.”
Defensive end Cameron Lenhardt
***Another New York City native, Cameron Lenhardt said he was “super excited” to return home for the bowl game. He said he texted his mom immediately when he learned the bowl destination. He didn’t know how many friends and family would attend the game, but “everybody’s coming.”***Lenhardt said he’s using this month of practices to step up his play and his role as a leader on the defensive line going into the offseason. He said younger guys were “more locked in” because they knew what this opportunity could be for them.
***Lenhardt sending the fifth and sixth-year guys out in their first bowl game at Nebraska was a significant goal for the Huskers.
***Lenhardt said the defensive player thought Butler “deserved” to be the new DC. That was their message to Rhule when they advocated for Butler.
“I’m looking forward to building something with him.”
Cornerback Ceyair Wright
***Ceyair Wright said Butler was “a really great guy,” and he said Butler had a “super, super advanced” mind for the game.***Wright said he’d noticed a lot of young guys “flying around and flashing” during bowl practices. He said that’s what bowl games are all about.
He noted Donovan Jones and Caleb Benning as younger DBs who had stepped up this month.
***Wright said he was “extremely excited” to go to a bowl game in New York. “It’s like a bucket list thing for me.” He said he wanted to go to Central Park, get a “chopped cheese” sandwich, and see a play on Broadway.
***Even though he’s only been here for a few months, Wright said he was comfortable stepping into a leadership role entering the offseason. He said much of that was his personality and willingness to lead and help younger players as much as he could.
***Wright said players advocated for Butler because they wanted Rhule to know how they felt about him to help Rhule in his search for a new DC.

Really? I give him slack since it’s his first one and it’s OK to have some nerves, but I thought that was a bad presser. His answers were all over the map, he skirted some questions, used “at the end of the day” about 50 times. Sounded like someone who was very knowledgeable but had a hard time communicating what he knew and on top of it was nervous.
I’m sure he’ll get better at pressers, but I’d call that one clunky at best.

Yeah, that seemed odd. A Nebraska student and player saying he "lives" in Brooklyn? Maybe he meant his parents lived in Brooklyn now.

I thought his press conference ranked somewhere between Tim Tebow after losing to Ole Miss and Bud Dwyer.

I like how he's got his AirPods in because he doesn't have time to listen to your bullshit while he's building a beast.
