Decided to utilize the walk on program and is headed to Nebraska. Welcome Justin!

 

 

 

Very impressive that he turned down scholarship offers from UNO, SD, NWMSU, just to become a Husker! He is always dreamed about playing for Nebraska. That's what I am talking about. Husker kids wanting to PLAY FOR NEBRASKA! :thumbs

 

 

That tackle.....on your avatar.....did that QB die? :o

Recently, in a radio interview, TO said recruiting won't be where it needs to be until we re-establish a very strong walk-on program.

 

During the TO years how many walk-ons did we have in a recruiting class?

While the scholarship limits were higher (120 in early 70's) I'd say there were 15 to 25 walkons each class.

 

So a full recruiting class with a full walk-on class would be closer to 50 new athletes. Thanks for clarifying.

Kenny Anderson a DE out of Millard West will walk on...6'3 225

 

 

I hope Drwal and Meyer walk on also. IMO Drwal could be a great player, against Millard North Fisher along with another guy would double him but Drwal would still make plays. I would keep an eye on Drwal if he chooses to walk on.
