My walk-on story: Stalbird, a safety from Kearney, made surprise move up depth chart

“It was kind of a weird journey (to Nebraska). I didn’t really play until about my senior year (of high school), like actually playing on the field. Going into my senior year I got bigger and stronger and in my playbook more. I just wanted to play college ball somewhere and things started picking up throughout the season. I got my first offer from Wayne State, and just a bunch of different schools started contacting me. I got a preferred walk-on offer to Wyoming, and then I was getting talked to by (South Dakota State) and Emporia State (Kansas).
