The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.
JUCO nose tackle Tony Fair, a 6-3 330lb three star at Pima C.C. in Arizona, has decommitted from the Cornhuskers. Fair committed to the Huskers all the way back in July. He was an academic risk, though, because he didn’t look good for graduating early. Nebraska, as has been noted previously, isn’t really interested in JUCO prospects unless they are December grads. Fair was not in a good spot.
However, he buckled down and took 23(!) hours, plus some fast-forward courses. Tony reported that everything was going to work out for a December graduation, but Nebraska wanted to see on paper that he was going to clear with the NCAA, so there wasn’t a repeat of the Dominick Watt situation.
