Another day, another walk-on commit for the Nebraska football program.Â
For the second consecutive night, it's the son of a former Husker.Â
On Tuesday evening, running back and defensive back Grant Lohr (Jenks, Oklahoma) announced his intention to join the football program as a walk-on via Twitter.Â
After receiving an opportunity to play at The University of Nebraska, I am extremely excited and blessed to say, that I am committing. HUSKERS
