The former Nebraska running back and Lincoln native graduated from UNL in December and has been settling into life as a graduate student at Midland University in Fremont the past month. He was looking forward to a trip to Colorado this week before beginning his first spring ball as a graduate assistant coach for the Warriors.
Rose, a Lincoln North Star grad, tried to drive from Fremont to Lincoln on Friday after a morning workout ahead of the trip, but found water already crossing U.S. Highway 275. Without an exit route, he backtracked, unsure of how long he’d be stuck.
