NU offered Nouili a preferred walk-on spot before he picked CSU last season. After the Rams fired the coach who recruited Nouili — Mike Bobo — he decided to enter the transfer portal Monday.
He wasn’t there long. By Friday he had announced his transfer to Nebraska, and he'll join the program as a preferred walk-on. A conversation with coach Scott Frost and offensive line coach Greg Austin cinched his decision. Nouili, a left guard at Colorado State, will be given the chance to compete for the starting job at Nebraska, and that’s good enough for him.
“I’m going to try and earn a scholarship as soon as possible,” the 6-foot-4, 283-pound Nouili said Friday. “I think I can do that.”
Nouili said he’ll submit to the NCAA a waiver for immediate eligibility so that he doesn’t have to sit out a year. He plans on finishing the semester at Colorado State then enrolling at NU for the spring semester. He’ll participate in winter conditioning and spring practices.
