When it comes to the2019 Nebraska recruiting class about to fully enter the fray, the biggest boys are carrying the biggest hopes among many fans.

In our poll for the Husker defensive player who you thought would make the biggest jump the top vote-getter was Ty Robinson.

On the offensive side of the ball? Bryce Benhart was the pick among those in the '19 class who fans expect to make the most significantclimb next season.

The O-lineman Benhart received 45.2 percent of the vote. Quarterback Luke McCaffrey was next in line with 16 percent, followed by running Rahmir Johnson (13.3), wide receiver/tight endChris Hickman (10.6), O-lineman Ethan Piper (4.3), wide receiver Demariyon Houston (3.7), running back Ronald Thompkins (3.2), wide receiver Jamie Nance (2.7), with O-linemen Jimmy Fritzscheand Brant Banks (0.5) each receiving a couple votes. (Wan'Dale Robinson wasn't included in this vote since he's already fully on the radar screen to NU fans).

The 6-foot-9, 300-plus-pound Benhart spoke last fall about how he was learning a lot on the move in his first year about what it takes to play at this level. The hope is the payment now comes in his second year.

"I'd say probably after that first practice it was like, 'Yeah, it's real football here, it's no joke, it's going, and you're going everywhere,'" Benhart said then. "Going from Minnesota high school football, people are faster and I'm not the biggest one out there. Maybe the tallest, but not the strongest. There's faster guys, there's bigger D-linemen. There's guys like Darrion Daniels. Those guys are just ginormous. In high school, I never saw a guy that big before blocking him."

But one of the advantages Benhart has had is he's no longer having to lose weight for wrestling after a football season. How big can big get? That's a sidebar in itself when it comes to Benhart.

"I've been told upwards of 320 to the 340 range," hesaid last fall of his possible playing weight in college. "Just all depends what I can move at and play at. I've never been this big. The biggest I've been is 310 so far. Yeah, it's scary but exciting."

Benhart also gave an ideain that conversation with media last September about the challenges facing a young linemen, even if you're highly regarded out of high schoolwith an enviable frame.

"I would say for a while, and it still is a struggle, because I'm still working on getting down the footwork and how to do it off ofwhat the other guy does," Benhart said.

But Husker offensive line coach Greg Austin said in March he could see some of the growth his redshirt freshmen had when the team got out there for the first couple practices before football was put on pause. "Those guys knew their angles. They knew generally speaking where their landmarks were. They saw the signals and things like that," Austin said.

And when it comes to the guy at the top of this poll?

"The things that I see: the weight gain, you can see the body change, the feel with the offense, making the calls, certain things like that, give me a lot of encouragement as I move forward with him."
