Ekeler, a David City native, previously coached with the Huskers from 2008-2010 as the linebackers coach. This comes after former Nebraska special teams coordinator Ed Foley parted ways with Nebraska last month.
In a rough year for special teams, the Huskers had numerous blocked kicks, muffed punts, and blown coverages on kick and punt returns.
