Injured Recruit Trains Through Broken Wrist

Barrett Kitrell, a Nebraska commit, maintains a demanding offseason training schedule even with a broken wrist. He wakes at 6:40 a.m. for 7 a.m. weights, adjusting exercises to accommodate his injury. Kitrell utilizes a bone stimulator and straps attached to a cable machine at his father's gym, Brick House, to continue building muscle and strength. His regimen also includes focused lower-body work, speed training with his brother Bryce, and positional drills with his brother Brett, who played Division I. Family influence is central, with his father, Barry, a former Husker, instilling a strong work ethic. Kitrell also emphasizes nutrition, clean eating, and nightly stretching for mobility. He committed to Nebraska on June 22, 2026, influenced by offensive line coach Geep Wade's honest approach and development plan. Kitrell aims to honor his family legacy at Nebraska, becoming the third family member to play for the team.
