Vestavia Hills safety Mason Wald's storybook offseason is officially gold. Wald, who once seemed headed across town to Division I-AA Samford, will instead join high school teammate Justin Rogers as a Nebraska Cornhusker.
"Mason Wald just accepted a full ride with Nebraska," said Ken Rogers, Justin's father. ``He and Justin are going to sign (letter of intent) together at 2:30 p.m.
"I talked to Coach Pelini and he was thrilled. He told me, `We can't wait to get those Alabama boys to Nebraska.' ''
Justin Rogers, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound running back, rushed for 5,322 yards and scored 59 touchdowns as a standout for Buddy Anderson with the Rebels. He was recruited as an athlete by Nebraska, and could wind up playing in the defensive secondary.
Wald is 6-foot, 190 pounds and could play safety or outside linebacker for the Cornhuskers.
