Will Bolt remembers it was a snowy January day in Lincoln.
As he walked through the Nebraska student-athletes' cafeteria in 1997, a kid from Texas on his recruiting visit, he stumbled upon a legend.
Bolt told me that he'll never forget meeting Tom Osborne for the first time.
“I didn’t know anything about the University of Nebraska -- certainly not about the baseball program. But I did know who coach Osborne was," Bolt said of the legendary former Husker football coach. "So when I met him, it was a big moment.”
"That sealed the deal right there," former Nebraska assistant coach Rob Childress said Monday.
