According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, safety Isaac Gifford has signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent. Gifford spent his college days in Lincoln with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Nebraska's defense didn't distinguish itself in Friday night's overtime loss to Illinois. Penalties extended multiple Illinois scoring drives. The Huskers yielded nearly 130 rushing yards after halftime, with blown assignments and missed tackles playing a part.
Watch list season continues to roll on with Nebraska football getting another player highlighted. Husker defensive back Isaac Gifford was named to the 2024 to Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List on Thursday.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers and head coach Matt Rhule will return right tackle Bryce Benhart and safety Isaac Gifford, both of which are starters with a great deal of experience.
