I feel like I am in the minority of actually liking this move.

I was indifferent, but now that he's N, he was obviously way underrated, he's going to be an All-American, and he's definitely a first round draft pick. :thumbs

Nice pickup.  Take from a B1G opponent and beat out Iowa for his services.  Think he will come in and be a force with Allen next year.

I have absolutely nothing to go on to be excited or not about this....other than Frost obviously wanted him on the team.  So, I'll take that as Frost thinking he can contribute to making the team better.  So....WELCOME!!!!

Figured he would’ve went with Iowa with their current success with TE’s but can’t fault the kid for wanting to play in Frost offense.

Is this guy immediately eligible or does he have to sit out a year?

Sit one play 2

I don’t think anyone DISlikes it but do find it a little questionable since we have depth at that position and lack it at other spots.  Eeeether, EYEther - welcome aboard, Travis!

Nice pickup and nice to get a Midwest kid that others wanted.

Agreed, would rather have had a LB come in, but this kid is pretty good and put up better numbers than Rafdal and Allen combined did last year on that dumpster fire of a Rutgers team. I think it’s a solid pickup and how Frost utilized his TE in 2017 it makes sense why they want a guy like him. Plus 247 is hinting he may be a blue shirt.

Yea, I don't get it. But if he's good enough for this staff, he's good enough for me. 

 

[WyoHusker56]

In an interview I was reading he said he was one of those Nebraska kids who grew up dreaming of playing for the Huskers. I'll take more kids with that dedication!

Can he get a waiver because his family moved? Does Frost want a waiver, or would it be better for Vokolek to have a year to learn the system?

Unlikely but any chance that he may be a future OLB or that one of our current TEs (maybe Hickman) is moving to OLB?
