Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Casey Thompson is impressing the folks with his new staff, with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, according to a report in 247Sports.

“I think he’s the best one right now,” Nebraska offensive coordinator Mark Whipple said of Thompson earlier this week, per 247Sports. “That might change tomorrow. There is nothing set in stone. But yeah, Casey. Chubba [Purdy] got a little bit of a nick so he didn’t do much. Logan (Smothers) has done a good job. Those three. Heinrich [Haarberg] — all of those kids have done a really good job. Heinrich gets some reps. Now we’re looking at more reps than you know — we’re running two huddles and two thuds which is a great thing about numbers, so we have a lot tape to watch and those kids can progress quite a bit.”
