LINCOLN, Neb. (KSNB) – Nebraska football senior wide receiver Billy Kemp IV hasn’t played in a game for the Huskers yet, but is already proving a valuable asset through four practices in preseason camp.
“He’s so super competitive, it’s so important to him, he’s so respected and he doesn’t even really say anything, it’s just how he works and how he competes,” Nebraska offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield said Thursday. “His leg could be falling off and you’ve got to pull him off the field. He’s one of the most competitive kids I’ve ever been around, so he’s doing a really nice job right now.”
Kemp IV transferred to the Huskers after spending five seasons at Virginia. His goals at Nebraska are simple.
“Prove to the team and to the coaches that I’m there whenever they need me, doing whatever they need me to do,” he said Monday. “Just working hard, attacking every day.”
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has also taken notice. He said that younger guys in the receiver room flocked to Kemp IV for advice during the summer and that his personality demands respect.
“He’s an edgy, tough, feisty dude,” Rhule said. “Someone wants to jump me and I see Billy, I’m saying, ‘Hey, Billy, will you help me out?’ He’s a guy I’m taking into a dark alley with me.”

BATON ROUGE, La. (WOWT) – Jordy Bahl homered twice and was spotless in three innings of work in Nebraska’s 10-2 NCAA Tournament win over UConn Friday.

Nebraska Fuel Shortage: A look at gas stations across our neighborhoods
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Everyone is on the move.
We drove from Omaha to North Bend, checking gas stations on the way. Several pumps had bags on them, but many other stations were operating normally.
Reporter Molly Hudson talked to Doug Bartek, a third-generation farmer in Wahoo, last month. Thursday, she checked in to see how the fuel shortage impacts him.
“The thing that’s kind of complicated it and made it worse is the way the spring planting is going. There has been really not much for rain, so farmers have just kind of kept going and, you know, kept using fuel all the time and then plus, it has been so dry; there has been some irrigation going on, so that just creates more demand for it and just kind of compounds the problem,” Bartek said.
Earlier this week, a regional federal waiver on service hours was put in place through June 30 for drivers hauling fuels in Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas.
The declarationsays the fuel shortages are, quote, “resulting from unexpected increased demand for the spring planting season coupled with refinery conversion to summer blends, pipeline maintenance in key supply corridors, and outages at terminals.”
A Casey’s employee told Molly they typically put bags over the pumps when they aren’t working properly. Molly called a communications person for Casey’s to learn more, but did not hear back Thursday evening.
