HOF Notebook: Wistrom Honored To Receive Call
Photo by University CommunicationsHe took note of the 402 area code, but as most people do nowadays, Grant Wistrom let the phone call go straight to his cell phone’s voice mail because he didn’t know the number that appeared on his screen.
Wistrom, at the time getting a haircut with his son, later recognized the voice as he played the message.
“When I listened to it,” Wistrom said, “it kind of floored me a little bit.”
The caller was Nebraska football coach Scott Frost, a former teammate of Wistrom’s on the 1996 and 1997 Husker football teams. Frost was informing Wistrom that he’d been selected for induction into the 2019 Nebraska Athletic Hall of Fame.
