Nebraska Football picks up commitment from speedy walk-on

The Nebraska Football program picked up a walk-on commitment on Tuesday night who is, to put it mildly, kinda fast. Matthias Algarin is a man of many talents, and he plans to showcase as much as he can while at Nebraska.

To put things in perspective, the Minnesota native has been a tremendous asset for his high school team. In a playoff game for Pierz High on November 3, he put on a show. Carrying the ball 15 times, he totaled 128 yards. He also caught three passes for 61 yards. As if that wasn’t enough, he returned four kicks for an average of 29 yards.
