Nebraska football center Justin Evans is the highest-graded returning center in college football, according to PFF College. The Husker enters the 2026 season with a grade of 78.6.
The offensive line unit struggled last season, but Evans was solid individually. He started in 13 games and did not allow a sack all season.
The center was dependable throughout the course of the year, recording 443 pass-blocking snaps and 355 run-blocking snaps. Evans excelled in pass protection, as he allowed only 10 pressures across the entire season.
As far as penalties were concerned, he had only three penalties called on him all season. Now he anchors the interior offensive line for new o-line coach Geep Wade.
This certainly sets the stage for Evans to make himself known nationally. There is still plenty of time between now and the 2027 NFL Draft, but he could be a viable prospect with another solid season.
