Sophomore Maurice Washington is facing charges in California and will travel there at a to-be-determined date for an initial court appearance.
Junior college signee Dedrick Mills had his own legal issue – stemming from a failure to appear in court – and has some academic work still to complete before coming to Nebraska, though the Husker coaches felt comfortable enough with his situation to sign him in January.
Obviously, NU also has to replace Devine Ozigbo’s production on the field as the senior is off to try to make an NFL roster.
Perhaps by the time September rolls around, Washington and Mills will be providing the dynamic 1-2 punch many expected, but don’t forget about a guy who’s been something of a background character so far.
