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!

 
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.

 
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.
