The Nebraska football team got some very good news on Friday evening. Noah Vedral had finally won his appeal for immediate eligibility.
That means the UCF transfer quarterback could play today, against Northwestern if he’s needed. That’s a shot in the arm for Vedral, who had thought he was going to sit out the season.
The announcement is also a big one for the Cornhuskers, who have very limited depth at the quarterback position until today. In fact, after Tristan Gebbia‘s departure, the Huskers’ backup quarterbacks were both walk-ons.
Vedral’s addition to the active roster isn’t just about having a scholarship quarterback available.
