Experienced receivers take
questions from new players
By Jeff Grlesch
Senior Editor
Clester Johnson and Reggie Baul
have gone from students to teachers as
Nebraska wide receivers.
For four years, Johnson and Baul
watched, asked questions and learned
from Corey Dixon, Nate Turner,
Vincent Hawkins, Abdul Muhammad
and other receivers.
They studied their routes and blocks
and learned the little tricks that expe
rienced receivers know.
Now, instead of asking questions,
they are giving the answers.
“I guess I am the most experienced
wingback, and a lot of guys have been
asking a lot of questions,” Johnson
said. “It kind of makes me feel old, but
it also makes me feel smart.”
Johnson, a 5-foot-11, 210-pound
senior from Bellevue, caught four pass
es for 93 yards and two touchdowns
last season.
Baul is Nebraska’s- top returning
receiver. The 5-8, 170-pound senior
split end had 17 receptions for 300
yards and three touchdowns a year
ago.
Baul also set a spring game record
with 184 yards on four catches, includ
ing a record-setting 80-yard touch
down.
Joining Baul at split end is junior
Brendan Holbein, who caught nine
passes for 88 yards and two touch

Holbein said he would join Johnson
and Baul as one of the teachers for the
youngNebraska receivers. ButHolbein
said he still had some learning to do.
“I learned from the guys above me
when I was a freshman, but I still feel
like I could do things a lot better,”
Holbein said. “But now I feel like I can
be more of a leader for the new, young
guys.”
Holbein, Baul and Johnson all agree
that the young Huskers are very talent
ed.
Receivers coach Ron Brown said
freshman Kenny Cheatham could be
Nebraska’s most gifted receiver.
Cheatham, a6-3,200-pounder from
Phoenix, hasn’t played a game at Ne
braska, but his size, long strides and
soft hands have left Brown speechless.
“I won’t tell you how good Kenny
Cheatham can be because I don’t want
him to know he’s that good,” Brown
said. “Right now he hasn’t played, and
he has a lot to learn. I don’t want his
talent to go to his head.”
Along with Cheatham, sophomore
Shevin Wiggins brings huge talent.
Wiggins went to the same high
school as Tommie Frazier and Tyrone
Williams in Palmetto, Fla. In 1993,
Wiggins was the Florida offensive
player of the year after rushing for
2,267 yards and 32 touchdowns as a
running back at Manatee High School.
