experienced Nebraska center whose 2014 run was cut short by injury
Mark Pelini was a durable, inside-line anchor for Nebraska in 2014, starting the first 11 games at center before a season-ending injury ended his year; at 6-foot-0 and 285 pounds, he fit as a compact, leverage-based interior lineman who brought steadiness to the middle of the line. His value was less about flash and more about dependability, football IQ, and holding up the protection structure—traits that matter when you want a tough, technically sound interior fit rather than a developmental project.
