BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just saw this. Could add some depth to WR down the road. He's 6-2, 175 on the Ohio roster. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 To bad he'll be out this year, but we might need him next year after losing Peterson and Swift. He's walking on here right? or did he get a scholarship? Seems like a good replacement for Swift! Quote Link to comment
huskerhaze Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 If I remember correctly....he planned to walk on last year, but then he got the Ohio offer. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yes he is going to be a walk-on. According to LJS he wanted to be closer to family, had a good relationship with Carl Pelini at Ohio, but not sure if Carl encouraged the transfer. Quote Link to comment
hskernation Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It seems to be a theme nowadays – another Nebraska kid coming home. That’s how it is for Fremont , NE native Matt Donahue. After spending one year at Ohio on scholarship, he’s decided to transfer and walk-on to Nebraska . The reason simply being that he wanted to get a little closer to home. http://nebraska.scout.com/ Quote Link to comment
