North Star's Reimer on Huskers' radar and gunning for Power Five offers

More than a month into his junior season, Luke Reimer had never talked to a college football coach about the possibility of continuing his playing career past high school.

It was quite a transition just getting to Lincoln from Ashland, Kansas, getting settled at North Star High and adjusting to life and also football.

Not so for Reimer, who burst onto the scene in Class A here after jumping from eight-man football in Kansas. He accumulated 397 rushing yards (7.1 per carry), 167 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in seven games, according to MaxPreps, for the Navigators, all while making an in-season switch to quarterback after the injury bug bit the position.
