The Nebraska Cornhuskers have their eye on yet another preferred walk-on that they are hoping can become the next great fullback.
Under Matt Rhule, the Huskers definitely have a type of player they think can play fullback. It tends to be a player they hope they can get as a walk-on who might then eventually earn a scholarship.
Derek Wacker is the latest player that fits the mold. He announced on Saturday he got a preferred walk-on offer from the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It seems likely that sooner or later, he’ll be taking Matt Rhule and company up on that offer and joining the Nebraska football team’s offer to join their 2024 class.
