Newby’s visit on Saturday will be his second to the school. The running back made an unofficial visit back in June and was impressed by the trip.
“It was definitely the people,†he said. “When I went up there last time, I was blown away. The city and the campus was amazing.â€
This time around, Newby said he wants to further his relationship with Husker players and coaches, but mostly he is making the trip for another reason.
“I want to see the stadium on a gameday-type atmosphere,†he said. “I’ve met the coaches and some of the players, but I didn’t get to see that gameday feel on my unofficial.â€
Aside from the fans, seeing the Husker offense in motion sparks the most interest from Newby. He sees himself as a great fit for the Huskers’ offensive style.
“I love the offense,†he said. “I could be utilized in the same way that Rex (Burkhead) is now. I’m looking forward to that for sure. He catches balls and runs inside and out.â€
