gmoney88 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Former Omaha Gross/Papillion La Vista quarterback is turning down a full scholarship from UNO to walk on at NU. Great pick up in my opinion Quote Link to comment
Husker_Power Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 UNO QB joining the Huskers Steve Heiman is coming to Lincoln in the fall to chase a dream. An all-district player at Papillion-La Vista High School, the quarterback had a scholarship at UNO and was a backup in the 2007 season. It looked like he might even be the Mavs' starter in a year or two. But now he wants to see how he can do as a quarterback in the Huskers' system. "A lot went into it. It was a very tough decision, very hard to leave UNO," said the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Heiman. "But then it came down to a personal thing. It's always been a dream of mine to play for Nebraska. I didn't want to be sitting here 10 years down the road going, 'What if? What if?'" Link Quote Link to comment

T-BONE Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Maybe move him to SS or FS ? or will he stay at QB ? Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 It is the desire of the walk on that drives the team. Some will make it to the playing field and some won't, but they all have a vital role. When a schollie player sees the determination of these kids just to wear that N and run through that tunnel they should try harder as well. Playing for a team, what a concept. Quote Link to comment

BOBELIEVER Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 saying the walk-on program is important is an understatement... I wrestled in high school and we were very deep... we had a great JV team, which to me is kind of like the walk-ons... having such a great JV squad pushed a lot of the varsity more to be the best they could possibly be ...there were wrestle-offs all the time(2 wrestlers square off for a starting spot) and nobody wanted to lose there spot ... I see the walk-on program as a very significant impact in restoring the order Quote Link to comment

real'97champs Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Maybe move him to SS or FS ? or will he stay at QB ? He wants to take his shot at QB I graduated with steve and there isnt a chance he plays another position besides qb. He didnt play anything else in high school and he has all the tools to be a solid qb. Nebraska offered him a walk on opportunity after high school but he went to uno instead. change of heart i guess Quote Link to comment
