Nebraska High School 8-Man Offensive/Defensive Linemen to Watch in 2022

I KNOW I went overboard with these 8-Man Linemen, but every single one of these warriors deserve a mention. Please give a tip of the hat to the guys up front who clear the way for the record setting 2000 yard backs in the 8-Man circles.

This took a long time to compile and there may be a few errors, but I think for the most part, the information is accurate.

Enjoy reading my well deserved salute to these talented gridiron Friday Night Lights Heroes.
