Nebraska football has announced that former Husker linebacker Barrett Ruud will become a full-time assistant in charge of the inside linebackers.
Ruud was hired as a part of head coach Scott Frost's staff in December, but was elevated to a full-time assistant today, the first day FBS football programs were allowed to add a tenth assistant.
