Peyton Newell

Peyton Newell heads into his sophomore season with the opportunity to compete for playing time on the Nebraska defensive front. The 6-3, 290-pound Newell has the versatility to play either tackle or end, but spent 2015 and all of spring inside at defensive tackle. The opportunity to earn playing time on the defensive front is in place, as Nebraska must replace four starters, including tackles Maliek Collins and Vincent Valentine, who were both third-round NFL Draft picks. Newell came to Nebraska after a standout prep career at Hiawatha High School in Kansas where he starred on both sides of the ball.
