Hovey Another Walk-On Contributor at WR

The Lane Hovey do-it-yourself story began long before the receiver ever started climbing the Nebraska football depth chart or got the call Saturday night to help the Huskers at Fresno State.

It started after Hovey came out of his high school senior season with nothing more than interest from some non-scholarship NCAA Division III programs in Iowa.
“I didn’t know the recruiting process,” Hovey said. “I didn’t really get my name out there.”
To do so, and with the clock running, Hovey took some game film, sat down with a friend and created his own highlight tape. He sent it to both Nebraska and Iowa that January,
knowing both Big Ten schools had good histories with their walk-on programs.
Then Hovey waited. All the way until May 1. The national cutoff date for academic financial aid.
And that’s when the first contact came from Jeff Jamrog, the Nebraska assistant athletic director for football operations.
“Things shook out where I ended up here, and I think it’s definitely where I’m meant to be,” Hovey said.
