The Wahoo native and Nebraska quarterback dove over the pylon, capping off a 20-yard scoring run and notching his first collegiate touchdown at Memorial Stadium, where his family has extensive history and where he grew up coming to games.
He wasn’t ruled eligible until late Friday, Oct. 12, forcing a dash to the airport to hop a commercial flight to Chicago before Saturday morning’s game against Northwestern.
Then he saw his lone game action of the season against Bethune-Cookman later in the month, completing just 2-of-9 and throwing an interception to go along with a touchdown run.
