“I just think he’s a talented player. He’s a player,” Rhule said. “What we want to do, like all of our players, is for him to say 10 years from now that his life is better because he played with us at Nebraska. “That’s all I care about with all these guys.

“What this means for him, I’m just getting to know him. I want him to have elite success in the classroom, I want him to be involved in the community, I want him to have great relationships and I want him to play well at football.”
