The former Nebraska football player made a smart decision.
It is unfortunate to see a Nebraska football player transfer. It’s even more unfortunate when one of the player’s family members is suffering. That is the case with outside linebacker Niko Cooper.
Cooper took to Twitter early Sunday morning that he was transferring from the Nebraska football program, in part due to his mother’s declining health.
