07/22/10 - 2010 PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 FIRST TEAM (MEDIA): TE Mike McNeill, Nebraska, has been selected Preseason All-Big 12 Conference First Team for the 2010 college football season as selected by the conference media. - Big 12 football
03/24/10 - When spring practices begin Wednesday, McNeill, a senior, will begin a new role. Coaches are calling it the adjuster. It means McNeill can play a mix of U-tight end, wide receiver and fullback. Of those three positions, wide receiver will raise the most eyebrows among Nebraska fans. McNeill, who will work this spring with wide receivers coach Ted Gilmore, tried downplaying the move. “I flexed out last year. That’s a receiver,” McNeill said. “I’m still the same person. I think I can be a solid possession receiver. If that’s four yards farther out than where I was lined up last year, then that’s what it will be.” As a sophomore, McNeill set a tight end record with 32 receptions. Last season, he was second on the team with 28 receptions. Coach Bo Pelini said Tuesday that number should’ve been higher. “Sometimes, it wasn’t a scheme thing. Sometimes, he was open, and we didn’t get him the football,” Pelini said. “We just think he’s a heck of a football player. I thought he had a chance to have a bigger year than he had, because I saw him on film, and he was open a lot. Some of it was scheme-oriented, some of it was defense dictated.” - Brian Rosenthal, Lincoln Journal Star
