NU place-kicker Pickering to leave football program; Waldoch also elects to retire from sport

Nebraska sophomore Barret Pickering, easily the most experienced place-kicker on the roster, is leaving the program, according to multiple reports.

Pickering reportedly will remain as a student at NU.

The kicker who replaced him late last season also has decided to end his college career.

Matt Waldoch, an Illinois native who was 4-for-4 on field goals in two games in 2019, has decided to focus on school and be a member of the club soccer team, according to a source close to the situation. Waldoch joined the program in the middle of last season as injuries mounted at the position.
