Lincoln - Eight current and former Husker student-athletes across all sports will earn their undergraduate degrees from the University of Nebraska during commencement exercises on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
The group includes three student-athletes from the Nebraska football program, led by senior offensive linemen Alex Lewis (Tempe, Ariz.) and Chongo Kondolo (Carrollton, Texas). Former Husker place-kicker Mauro Bondi (Boca Raton, Fla.) is also scheduled to earn his bachelor’s degree.
Three-time All-American Robert Kokesh from Coach Mark Manning’s Nebraska wrestling program also highlights the Husker graduates. Kokesh, a two-time Big Ten Conference champion, closed his career with the second-best victory total (144) in Nebraska history.
