There were 140 on the roster this year. 85 are scholarship guys (roughly 80 in camp this year). So out of the other 60 - pretty much all of whom are PWOs, only about 25 can make the fall camp roster. 1 Quote Link to comment

Right, but they are only guaranteed a spot on 110 man roster the first year and we had 16 PWOs in 2018. I can't find anything specific to Nebraska, but I think most consider the definition of PWO do be just that: Quote Nine out of the 10 staffs we spoke with use the “preferred concept” and to those nine, the clear difference between a preferred walk-on versus someone who simply walks-on is that the preferred means he is guaranteed a spot on the 105 man roster day one of camp, while other walk-ons will have to go through tryouts to see if they can earn a spot on the roster. http://footballscoop.com/archive-news/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-preferred-walk-on/ Quote Link to comment

That would make a lot more sense for schools that are only carrying 115-120 total guys on the roster, not the 140 that we have. Quote Link to comment

But from what it looks he doesn't have a ton of offers for that either. If I read the article correctly it said Nebraska wanted him to go to JuCo, for wrestling I assume (wasn't clear) and then take a look at him after two years there. FIFY And about to be 4 time, visited Michigan State last month for wrestling Quote Link to comment

swmohusker Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 That is awesome. Reimers is a 10.9 FAT 100m. Nice to get someone with that kind of speed as a walk On. Quote Link to comment
