While the lone in-state scholarship player for the Class of 2018, Beatrice tight end Cameron Jurgens, is not participating -- he's already moved to Lincoln and continues to work back to full form after a devastating leg/ankle injury last fall -- nine walk-ons dot the North and South rosters.
They are Yutan defensive lineman Colton Feist, Bellevue West offensive lineman AJ Forbes, North Platte tight end/punter Bryson Krull, O’Neill wide receiver Wyatt Liewer, Norfolk outside linebacker Ryan Schommer, Gretna linebacker Joey Johnson, Kearney Catholic quarterback Matt Masker, York athlete Simon Otte and Kearney defensive back Isaiah Stalbird.
“We have a head coach that played in this game,” said Masker, referring to Frost’s 1993 appearance.
