2018 (Junior)
Urbach handled the snapping duties for Nebraska’s punt unit in each of the final 10 games of 2018. He made his Husker debut in his home state at No. 19 Michigan in the third game of the year. Urbach made a pair of tackles at Michigan and one against Illinois, finishing the year with three tackles. He also recovered a fumbled punt against the Illini. As the long snapper, he helped Isaac Armstrong post the ninth-best punting average (43.6) in school history.
