Huskers' New DL Coach: Attack, Then React!
26 Feb
Summary
- New DL coach Corey Brown emphasizes 'attack, then react' mentality.
- Brown previously coached at Miami (OH) and South Dakota.
- He secured four-star recruit Dylan Berymon for the 2026 class.
Corey Brown, in his first season as Nebraska's defensive line coach, is set to implement a fresh, aggressive approach for the 2026 season. Having previously coached at Miami (OH) and South Dakota, Brown reunites with defensive coordinator Rob Aurich, with whom he shares a history from their time at South Dakota.
Brown described Aurich's defensive scheme as exciting for players, emphasizing that the Huskers will operate with a "move first, think later" philosophy. He has already been active in recruiting, securing four-star defensive lineman Dylan Berymon for the 2026 class and building relationships with transfer portal additions like Jahsear Whittington.
The coach highlighted the importance of explosiveness, strong hands, and playing with good leverage when scouting talent. He also stressed the need for a "violent mentality" from his players, a trait he cultivated in his previous role where his unit recorded 11.5 sacks in 2025.
