Larry Tarver Jr. is a speed-first Nebraska DB still fighting for a bigger role
Tarver entered 2026 as a developmental defensive back for Nebraska, and the clearest theme is upside: official Nebraska bios note he was one of the top defensive backs in Miami and that his 2026 usage has been minimal so far, with a lone appearance this season. He’s a lean, fast corner/safety type at 5-foot-11 who brings special-teams value and athletic pedigree, but the on-field résumé is still small, so the fit is best for a team that wants a long-term project with Miami-area playmaking traits rather than an instant-impact starter.
