Garrett Nelson almost found a way to get himself kicked out of Broncos Stadium the first time he ever visited the place.
The Scottsbluff native and Nebraska football verbal commit made the trek to Denver recently to watch future teammates quarterback Luke McCaffrey (Valor Christian) and offensive lineman Michael Lynn (Cherry Creek) square off in the Colorado Class 5A state championship game on Dec. 1.
Nelson had just come off a championship game loss of his own, a 48-27 decision against Omaha Skutt 11 days earlier, and thought, what the heck, what better opportunity to see a couple of future Huskers compete?
