Danny King brings rare special-teams versatility and a big-leg ceiling to Nebraska
Danny King is a low-usage Nebraska tight end with an unusual special-teams background, having previously shown he can flip field position as a kicker/punter, including a 52-yard field goal, multiple touchbacks, and punts pinned inside the 20 at Southern Utah in 2025. Nebraska lists him as having played in one game in 2025 after redshirting in 2024, so the on-field sample in black and gold is still tiny[7]. The appeal is versatility, toughness, and proven kicking confidence under pressure; the question for Nebraska is whether that multi-skill utility can translate into meaningful TE value beyond depth and special teams.[7][9]
