Another of the eight players who have left the Nebraska football program since Scott Frost took over has found a new college football home.
This week, the Twitter account for Muskegon High School in Michigan revealed that one of its former football players, Andrew Ward, will be transferring to Central Michigan. The linebacker retweeted his alma mater’s tweet, which essentially serves as a confirmation of the move to Mount Pleasant.
The revelation came nearly six weeks after Ward used Twitter to announce his transfer away from the Cornhuskers.
