Boston College transfer Owen Stoudmire earned the first starting opportunity beside Jahsear Whittington on Nebraska's interior line, listing ahead of Riley Van Poppel and David Hoffken after a consistent camp built on leverage, strong hands and run defense.

Nebraska wants its tackles playing vertically and violently, with Stoudmire and Whittington trained to convert initial run reads into pass rush through inside hand placement, snatches and disengages.

Transfers Stoudmire, Dwayne McDougle, Anthony Jones and Victor Evans all reached the top of Nebraska's initial defensive depth chart, while Owen Chambliss is also projected there as he works back from a camp setback.

Nebraska's newcomers could fill more than half of its defensive starting roles against Ohio, with Dexter Foster also listed alongside Vincent Shavers at linebacker.
