NU freshman
happy at QB
By Tim Hartmann
Staff Reporter
Freshman Gerry Gdowski came to
Nebraska with some impressive statis
tics. The 6-1, 180-pound quarterback
passed for 2,613 yards and 34 touch
downs. But that's not all. Gdowski was also
the starting point guard on the Fre
mont basketball team, where he aver
aged 15 points a game. During his jun
ior year he won gold medals at the state
meet in the 400- and 800-meter races.
In his senior year he finished fourth in
the 400 and second in the 800. He was
named the Lincoln Journal-Star High
School Athlete of the Year during his
junior and senior years.
Iowa State and Iowa recruited
Gdowski, but he committed to Nebraska
early in the recruiting season.
"Nebraska was always pretty high on
my list," he said. "I've been impressed
with the program for a long time."
Before coming to Nebraska, Gdowski
had one more football game to play
the 26th annual Nebraska Shrine
Bowl, where the state's best high school
players meet on the field. Gdowski
completed five of 13 passes for 132
yards, including a 56-yarder to fellow
Husker recruit Darwin Snyder. For his
efforts, he was named the game's out
standing offensive player.
Gdowski's performance in the Shrine
Bowl helped him clear up any doubts
he may have had as to which position
he wanted to play at Nebraska.
"I wasn't sure what position I wanted
to play, but after that (the Shrine Bowl
game) I was sure I wanted to play quar
terback," he said.
Gdowski started at quarterback for
the Huskers as the freshmen opened
their season Thursday against Ells
worth Junior College of Iowa. The
freshman team's first game was to be at
Iowa State on Sept. 19, but the Iowa
State junior varsity canceled their sea
son. The game with Ellsworth was just
scheduled last week.
Once the football season is over,
Gdowski said he plans to review his
Performance and decide which posi
tion he would like to play during his
varsity career. Besides quarterback,
Gdowski also has experience at defen
sive back and split end.
"Freshman year, I'ii play quarterback,
then I'll just sit back and look at my
options," he said.
One thing Gdowski has discovered is
that it's difficult picking up the Neb
raska system.
"Everything is complicated, but the
coaches are really helpful," he said.
Despite the difficulties, Gdowski
said he's glad to be at Nebraska.
"It's definitely one of the best pro
grams in the country," Gdowski said.
'Everyone knows that."
