Huskers pick up walk-on commitment from Colorado athlete

Riley Kinney played quarterback in high school, but he'll be moving positions once he gets to college.

That's likely just fine with him, since the Loveland, Colorado athlete is going to play at Nebraska.

The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder announced his verbal commitment to the program as a walk-on Saturday evening and said he would be joining NU as an athlete/wide receiver.

Kinney helped Class 4A Loveland High to a state championship as a senior and now will join a big -- and continually growing Husker walk-on group that also includes his teammate Zach Weinmaster.
