Officially leaving the program. NU is now at 87 scholarships.

Had to figure he would be one of the guys lost due to scheme. Wish the best for him in the future.

Only surprise is that it didn't come sooner. Good luck to the kid.

World herald says 87, Rivals says 88. Which is it for crying out loud.

"You can excel on special teams" only goes so far.  I really feel badly for guys like him that get caught in these types of situations and strongly hope he finds a place that can use his talents.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but also heard that Decker may not continue.  Combination of injury and a little lack of "want to"...hope that's not true.

IIRC, Decker was a very smart kid in high school. Maybe he just wants to focus on academics and not want to worry about how his life after football will be like. I don’t blame him one bit.

87.5. They have a disagreement on whether to consider the skinniest kid a scholarship player.

 

[Mierin]

Good for both parties.

 

[Redux]

Dammit, this is a shame.  Was really hoping this would work out.

 

[Making Chimichangas]

Wish Ben Miles would stay, but understand why he decided to leave.  He wants to play and unfortunately (as others have previously pointed out) he just doesn't fit Frost's scheme.  Wish him all the best though.

1.5 scholarship QBs is the perfect number of QBs. 

 

[Red Five]

Can't blame the kid for leaving.  He was a man w/o a position.

But at least the Ben Miles era brought us Les calling the Northern Illinois game and making it somewhat entertaining to watch, with his blatant cheering for Nebraska (and his audible groans).
