Walk-On's Intellectual Journey from Pizzas to Law
Photo by NoneA walk-on quarterback who lettered at Nebraska in 2004, Garth Glissman (pictured above) was an attorney in Omaha for 6 ½ years at Kutak Rock, the largest Nebraska-based law firm. A student-athlete who also walked on for a year at Nebraska in basketball, Glissman credits both experiences for helping him become a professional lawyer who had just earned a promotion to become a partner at a law firm he truly loved.
