Quinton Newsome watched four young Nebraska scholarship defenders leave the program last year soon after they joined it.
Three of the departures were from his position group, the secondary, and all three were from the state of Florida.
A lot of Husker fans wondered what was going on.
“I would say it was just that they didn’t feel at home here,” Newsome said Wednesday. “It just wasn’t Florida to them.”
A sophomore from Suwanee, Georgia, Newsome said he had little problem making the adjustment to college life.
“When I came out here, I just talked to everybody,” he said with a smile.
