Size-first Nebraska target turned dependable red-zone option
In the 2009 season, Menelik Holt gave Nebraska a big-bodied, reliable receiver profile, finishing with 15 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown, after posting 30 grabs for 355 yards in 2008 and 49 career receptions overall[1][2]. At 6-4 and around 220 pounds, he stood out for length, catch radius, and matchup flexibility more than flashy volume, which made him a useful fit for a physical passing game[2][3].
