It's been a long time in coming, but Nebraska coach Bo Pelini rewarded the player who might be the most deserving walk-on with a scholarship after a strong season of production.

 

"It shows that if you come in here and you do the right things, for the football team and yourself, you have a good chance of being rewarded for your efforts," Pelini told reporters after Saturday's practice. "That shows with those six young men.''

 

"This is a great group of guys and it is great to be able to have the ability to recognize their contributions by placing them on scholarship," Pelini said. "Each of those guys has shown a great commitment to our football program, and they do things the right way on and off the field."

:) I am happy for all, but especially for Henery...he earned his in a big way with that kick against CU, and I hope he has many more of those kicks left in that leg of his.

The kick against sCUm was just the icing on the cake so far for Mr. Henery. He has been the most consistent kicker in the nation the last two years. Now aren't we all glad that we didn't waste that scholly on Ron "teabag" Paulus!!

 
He deserved it, that kick last year stuck a dagger in my heart but I always believe that people should have at least one great moment in their lives, at least outside of family, and that may have been his, so kudos to him and grats on the scholarship!

 
I like the fact of the small town guys getting their props. 4 out of 6 were from fairly small to really small towns. Congrats to all 6 but those 4 will walk a little taller when they go home the next time.
