Kearney Catholic's Masker to join Huskers as a walk-on

Kearney Catholic quarterback Matt Masker joined the fold Sunday evening, announcing on Twitter that he will be playing football and going to school in Lincoln. 

Masker earned first-team All-State recognition in Class C-1 from the Lincoln Journal Star after he threw for 2,506 yards (62.1 percent completions) and 25 touchdowns against just four interceptions in 10 games during his senior year, per MaxPreps. In his career, he threw for 7,050 yards and 86 touchdowns while averaging 14.5 yards per completion.

By doing so, he becomes the eighth in-state walk-on to commit to NU in the past five days alone.

Are these guys "preferred" walk-ons?  Will they have reasonable chances of earning schollies if they are good enough?

yes sir,  if they crack the starting line up they usually get schollies

well, that's what has happened in the past 40 years

there is a new staff in place, but Frost seems to want to take the walk-on program back to the Osborne days\

so, I'd guess if the kid contributes on the field of play he will be rewarded with a ship

Yeah, I figured that Frost would at least retain the existing walk-on program, and probably would expand/enhance it.

I see UNL imploded Cather and Pound Hall today.  (Two old, tall dorms).  I don't think I ever set foot in either of them, though I do recall dominating on the flag football fields in the shadows of those two dorms over on the Vine St fields.  :)

Tanner Lee entering the draft.  Not really a fit for Frost.

No. He's not.  Kid worked pretty hard, very good attitude by all accounts.  I suppose he'll get a look.

wish Lee well.  Could have had a very good season next year if Riley could have kept his job, but.... 

don't blame Lee for leaving

this seems true.   He left saying good things and never complained all year about his poor OL or lacking of running game.  He will perform well in drills, so expect a late round draft.  He's also been in a pro system, which will help.   I hope he makes it.

LT Nick Gates declaring for the NFL

I think he'd be wise to stay and see what the new OL coach had to teach, perhaps put some better film out there for the NFL scouts

he could also put on a few more pounds and get stronger, but it's his choice

I guess I'll put this here?


Interesting piece on the new staff at UNL and their recruiting "style".


http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/ole-miss-defensive-back-breon-dixon-eyeing-transfer-to-nebraska/article_07866328-f0da-11e7-b16d-b32b317de096.html




Poking Big Red (negative recruiting) might not be the best plan of attack. Just sayin'.

all's fair in love and war

besides, the article doesn't say anything about the new husker coaching staff saying a word about Wisconsin or their D-coordinator

the player was quoted - he may have had his own original thoughts

or possibly he heard it from someone at Michigan
