Mavric Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Travis Vokolek - a 6-6, 250 lb Tight End from Rutgers - will be in-town tomorrow. Had 16 catches for 184 yards and 2 TDs last year. Originally from Springfield, Missouri. Dad (DJ Vokolek) is originally from Lincoln, played at UNK and coached at Wayne State and UNO before moving to Northern Iowa. Recently visited Iowa and planning to visit Kansas State and Arkansas. Has three years to play two. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Interesting. I thought we have decent enough depth at TE. Either way, I hope it’s a good fit. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 This kid came from right of the road from me. I always thought he was a better defender, than offensive player. If I remember correctly, a couple games I attend his he didn't catch a ball in either game. Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Coached against him in hs. Kid was a stud. Solid 2 way player but has a high ceiling as a TE. The Rutgers offer came late Would fit right in with what we want at TE. Also be nice bc Iowa is real high on him. Could get better at the TE position and keep him from joining a division foe. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Last I saw he didn't actually have an offer from Nebraska. That could have changed on the visit but the thinking was the Huskers were more interested in getting a linebacker... Quote Link to comment

While you guys were googling the kid, I googled the dad. He's the assistant head coach and linebackers coach at Northern Iowa. Frost was co-defensive coordinator and Linebackers coach at Northern Iowa. Also Mark Farley was Frost's head coach and is still there. Wonder if that played any part in getting the ball rolling for Travis. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Word is an announcement will be made tomorrow. NU, Iowa or KState. We have a couple spots open..... Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I feel like I am in the minority of actually liking this move. 2 Quote Link to comment
