steady Nebraska depth linebacker with academic chops and walk-on grit
Colton Koehler is best known as a tough, reliable depth piece for Nebraska rather than a headline-grabber: he played linebacker for the Huskers in 2008–09, logged 21 career tackles, and was valued for filling in when Nebraska’s linebacker room got banged up. His differentiators are versatility, consistency, and football IQ, plus the kind of blue-collar mentality coaches love from a former walk-on. He also earned strong academic recognition, which reinforces the “trust this guy in the room” profile. If you want upside and professionalism over flash, he fits the bill.
