Versatile Nebraska TE with a Position-Change Curveball
AJ Rollins is a 2021 Creighton Prep product and former top-45 tight end recruit who has bounced between tight end and the defensive line, showing real flexibility and coachability. In the 2023 season, he played four games on defense and logged 7 tackles, and Nebraska listed him as having switched back to tight end in 2024 while appearing in two games. The big selling point is his unusual athletic profile at 6-foot-5/6-foot-6 and 255 pounds, plus the fact that he’s been willing to adapt to whatever role the staff needs—an attractive trait for teams that value toughness, versatility, and developmental upside.
