Football program officials proceeded over the past week with relative confidence that Mills did well enough in three classes at Garden City (Kan.) Community College this spring, but seeing the official transcript Monday must certainly have been a welcome development and a sigh of relief for head coach Scott Frost, running backs coach Ryan Held and the rest of the NU program.
Ensuring Mills’ status is even more critical to the Huskers considering the uncertainty that still surrounds sophomore Maurice Washington, whose ongoing legal proceedings stemming from two charges in California are slated to progress at least well into the summer unless some sort of agreement is reached outside the courtroom between Washington’s representatives and the Santa Clara County prosecutor’s office.
