'Broke' Mazour thrilled to be one of three Husker walk-ons to earn scholarships

Wyatt Mazour doesn't remember what song was blaring Friday when Nebraska football coach Scott Frost pulled him aside toward the end of practice.

That's because Frost told Mazour, a junior running back from Boone Central High School, that he was one of three Husker walk-ons being put on scholarship.

So, it was a monumental day for the three athletes for reasons that relate directly to football and, well, survival as a college student.

"I've been taking out a lot of loans and building up a lot debt," he added, saying he envisions a career as a physical therapist.
