NU recruited four DBs this year (Culbert, Thenarse, Young and West). They are all listed at 6-0 on the roster. Young was at corner (and got beat badly) on one play that I saw last night. I didn't see Thenarse at corner; did anyone else? I suspect we'll see more of them down the road for the reasons you raise. The Huskers reportedly have commitments for next year from a pair of 5-10 corners. 

And speaking of big receivers, Purify is getting into the offense more and more. He could be a substantial weapon.
