Nebraska sophomore Barret Pickering, easily the most experienced place-kicker on the roster, is leaving the program, according to multiple reports.
Pickering reportedly will remain as a student at NU.
A native of Birmingham, Alabama, he suffered through multiple injuries last season. He missed Nebraska's first seven games, appeared in only four and made just 3 of 5 field-goal attempts after hitting his final 10 to close out 2018. He's the only scholarship specialist on the roster.
He was coming off a much better 2018 season, when he stepped into big moments down the stretch and delivered, including three clutch field goals in a 9-6 win over Michigan State.
