“That isn’t who he is, that’s never been who he is, and that’s not going to be who he is in the future,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. “And I put my reputation, and I put everything I stand for as a football coach behind that young man. "He is a tremendous young man, and one who you want not only representing you as a football player, but the type of kid you want in your community, the type of kid you want representing your organization,” Pelini continued.
