Running back Jaquez Yant bet on himself, coming to Nebraska as a late walk-on last summer, and the move has apparently paid off.
Yant, one of the breakout players of Nebraska’s spring practices, announced on social media on Tuesday that he has been put on scholarship.
“It’s official I’m a scholarship player,” Yant tweeted. “I want to thank everybody who ever supported me I want to give a huge shoutout to coach @coach_frost & @CoachTFisher For believing In me , I can’t explain how excited I’m right now. This is a blessing.”
