This wasn’t completely a surprise.
The signing of talented recruits Ronald Thompkins and Rahmir Johnson left Grayson questioning his role on the Husker roster. The emergence of Maurice Washington in fall camp added a further question mark. With the strong reciprocal interest during a recent visit from four-star all purpose back Wandale Robinson, Grayson saw that his opportunities in Nebraska were going to be limited at best. After a discussion with the coaching staff, he decided to reopen his recruitment.
It appears the staff had recruited over Grayson. This also points to a strong husker lean by the prospect Robinson.
