Nebraska Football is getting some help from overseas.

Nebraska football added to the punting room on Monday. The program landed punter Daniel Cerni from Prokick Austrailia. For reference, that particular program has produced five Ray Guy winners and 17 All-Americans since 2007.

Cerni’s decision to come to Nebraska could be a result of special teams coach Jonathan Rutledge. As Sean Callahan of HuskerOnline notes, Rutledge coached another ProKick Australia punter while at Auburn.
