The Big Ten Network's Joshua Perry is counting down the conference's top 30 players for 2021, and two Huskers have made the list thus far. Both are on defense.

On Tuesday, with the countdown about to enter the top 10, Cam Taylor-Britt's came in at No. 11. Perry calls the junior cornerback a "heat-seeking missile" on defense who plays with "passion and aggression."

Linebacker JoJo Domann was featured in the No. 26 spot earlier this month. Perry says versatility is the name of the game for the sixth-year Husker senior: "He lines up all over the defense ... and he can give you matchup issues anywhere he lines up."

Perry's top 10 will unfold beginning Wednesday. If any more Huskers make the countdown, they will be added on this page.
