[Husker] Another Commitment

[dkarre at comcast.net]

As I understand it, Souder will enroll in January, 2006, and begin his eligibility "clock" at that point. That way, he has spring ball and a full semester at the U before his first season, which he could perhaps redshirt. That would give him a year and a half before he ever plays.
