Nebraska Football: Program continues to tighten up special teams

Nebraska football is adding some more depth at special teams. According to multiple media reports, the program is adding Sami Khawja to the roster as a walk-on. The punter is from IMG Academy, known for producing talented athletes.

He is the No. 77 punter in the 2020 class, and he certainly has talent. He had a 36.8 yard average, and he landed six punts inside the 20-yard line. He will replace Isaac Armstrong who recorded 40.86 yards per punt.

This is certainly an interesting development. Having somebody walk on as a punter is always interesting.
