As the cost to attend college rises, some players are thinking more about whether to accept a Husker walk-on offer or attend a lower-level program where they’d receive some athletic scholarship aid, and probably have a better chance to play.
But for many who grew up in the state, the chance to walk on at Nebraska is still a very big deal.
Next week on National Signing Day Nebraska will release the names of players planning to join the program as walk-ons. Those known to be doing so include Trent Hixson from Omaha Skutt; Hunter Miller from Cross County; Cole Frahm from Omaha Burke; Ben Lingenfelter from Cherokee, Iowa; Ethan Cox from Blair and Cody Liske from Bennington.
Just like those players who will sign as scholarship players next week, it’s been a long process for those who will walk on for the Huskers.
