Former Rutgers tight end Travis Vokolek announced his decision to transfer to Nebraska on Tuesday via Twitter. The tight end chose the Huskers over Iowa and Kansas State. Vokolek had visited all three schools in the spring.
The Huskers were the final visit for Vokolek, stopping in the final week of May. The tight end was expected to have a quick decision shortly thereafter, but instead it took him nearly two weeks longer to decide between the three midwest schools.
He'd have two seasons of eligibility after sitting out one year. There is a possibility Vokolek could be a "blueshirt" addition, since his visit to Nebraska wasn't an official one, and he didn't have a recruitment triggered by the Huskers. In such a case, a player could end up receiving a scholarship after enrolling in classes and it counting toward the 2020 class. That possibility in this case, would keep open space for another possible transfer addition yet in the 2019 cycle.
