The countdown until August 31 and Nebraska’s 2024 season opener against the University of Texas – El Paso Miners is down to just a mere 23 days, bringing Huskers running back Dante Dowdell in the player spotlight.

The sophomore tailback is in his first year with the program after playing in six games for Oregon in 2023 in which he totaled 90 yards and one touchdown on the season including a 55-yard, one touchdown performance against Portland State in Oregon’s season opener.

The Picayune, Mississippi native was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting cycle including being ranked by Rivals as a top-110 player in the nation and a top-six tailback.

This fall, Dowdell will look to earn a role in the Huskers running back rotation amongst names such as Gabe Ervin Jr, Kwinten Ives, Emmett Johnson,and Rahmir Johnson.
