Five Heart Podcast: The Next Chapter, Special Teams, Speed and Nebraska Football

It’s time for another Five Heart Podcast, where we focus on all things Husker football! We didn’t have time to cover all the crucial updates on Monday night, so we’re diving into exciting insights from the press conferences of our new coaching staff, including Special Teams Coordinator Mike Ekeler, Secondary Coach Addison Williams, and Defensive Line Coach Terry Bradden.

Mike Ekeler, home run hire who is expected to make be an impactful addition to the staff, brings intensity and a philosophy of continuous improvement. He emphasizes, “Every single day as a human being, as a father, as a journalist, you’re getting better or worse. We never stay the same... If you’re built to be the best, then you’re always looking to improve.” His commitment to excellence sets a powerful tone for Nebraska’s special teams.

Coach Bradden, with experience from little league to the NFL, underscores the importance of fundamentals and how we must never get bored with them. Meanwhile, Coach Addison is impressed with the Husker speed and the talent among emerging freshmen and walk-ons.
