Moving from Brantford, Ontario, Canada, to Lincoln, Neb., has been a transition from one culture of nice people to the next for senior offensive lineman David Knevel.
Knevel, the Huskers’ only international player on the football team, said Lincoln’s calm and kind atmosphere reminds him of his hometown up north. In fact, the ride from Omaha’s airport to Lincoln is strikingly similar to the one that takes him home from the Toronto airport.
Back in Brantford, located about 70 miles west of New York, the pigskins and turf fields are replaced by wooden sticks and ice rinks.
