Early birds: Some incoming Husker freshmen set to begin on-campus summer program this month

The Huskers are getting as many of their 2018 signees to campus as possible to start their mandatory summer program on May 22, almost two weeks before the June summer class session begins.

That’s made possible by an NCAA-wide wavier, which was first granted last summer and was recently extended to cover this one, that allows schools to get student-athletes moved in and into summer workout programs early, an NU official confirmed.

Of course, not all will be able to be in Lincoln before Memorial Day. For instance, defensive lineman Casey Rogers said before the spring game that he graduates from Avon Old Farms prep school in Connecticut on May 27.
