New walk-on commit from Nebraska...

Not only did NU miss him, UW did as well. Did he pick us or the other way around? Why wasn't he offered? Looks like a monster.

He picked Wyoming. I know he visited K-St and pretty sure he had walk-on offer from them. There were 3 University Nebraska Kearney coaches at one of his basketball games a couple weeks ago so thinking they had to be serious about him with 3 coaches showing up.

Do many 8man players ever receive scholarships? Seems like you could find some decent players in small places. I'd think most would have to try walking on

There are a few, but it doesn't happen nearly as often as 11-man. Rashaan Salaam (Heisman Trophy winner) and Chad Greenway (2-time Pro Bowler) are 2 examples of 8-man players that turned out to be pretty good.

Normally not one to bump a thread, but Dustin Weeks from this year's class played 9-man football at Westhope/Newburg/Glenburn HS in North Dakota.
