John Bivens, a heavily recruited 2019 running back from Ohio, is expected to join the Huskers as a walk-on.
Kettering (Ohio) Archbishop Alter standout John Bivens was an unsigned running back prospect in the 2019 recruiting class. He missed his entire senior season of high school in 2018 with an injury, but put up 1,308 yards rushing on 132 carries for 15 total touchdowns as a junior.
Before the injury, Bivens was regarded as one of the top running backs in the state of Ohio. He had Power Five offers from the likes of USC, West Virginia, Louisville, Kentucky, Iowa State, Indiana, Nebraska and Illinois.
He failed to meet all the academic requirements out of high school and did not attend a four-year college this past year.
