adjusting to the strenuous practices,
she earned her position on the starting
team in 1990.
Since then, she said, the team has
become more unified, and instead of
individual players, the squad has be
come more of a team.
“Everyone is still intense, but it’s
more for the good of the tcafn,”
Endicott said.
She said the strongest teams the U.
S. team will face in the Olympics in
Barcelona, Spain will be the Com
monwealth of Independent States,
Cuba, China and Japan.
But right now her only worry is the
possibility that a member of the team
will become injured or ill.
“We’ve beaten the best teams in
the world, so we’re going in with a lot
of confidence. I just want everyone to
stay healthy,” Endicott said.
Endicotl plans to finish her degree
in athletic training and corporate fit
ness after the Olympics. She will stay
on the national team because she said
she wants to continue the experience
of being on the team.
“I feel really blessed to have had
the ability and the talent to do this.
Most kids just dream about going to
the Olympics, and for me it has be
come a reality,” Endicott said.

NU Quarterback Todd Gragnano, who will be transferring from UNL, throws a pass in practice.
Quarterback duo leaves
By Jeff Singer
Senior Editor
The often-difficultdecision of who
will be Nebraska’s starling quarter
back in the fall has become a little less
complicated.
Quarterbacks Todd Gragnano and
Mall Jones have joined linebacker
Brian Havens in transferring from the
Comhusker program to other schools
this fall.
Gragnano and Jones, who were
both competing for Nebraska’s start
ing quarterback position,departed the
program as redshirt sophomores.
Gragnano, who hails from Fountain
Valley, Calif., will be attending Lou
isville, while the Michigan City, Ind.
native Jones, will be playing at South
ern Illinois.
Both quarterbacks were listed on
USA Today’s Top 100 recruiting lists
for 1990.
Wi th the absence of the high school
standouts, the players expected to fill
the shoes of last year’s top signal
caller Kcilhcn McCantarc senior Mike
Grant, redshirt freshman Tony Veland
and recruits Tommie Frazier and Ben
Ruiz.
Nebraska Football Coach Tom
Osborne said the Huskers’ abundance
of quarterbacks was the main reason
for the duo’s departure.
“They were welcome to slay, but
they had a younger guy (Veland) play
ing ahead of them,” Osborne said.
“And with Frazier and Ruiz coming
in, they’re chances of playing a sig
nificant role was questionable.”
Last year, Gragnano took part in
one play, in which he completed a
one-yard pass for a touchdown, while
Jones sal out to use his redshirt sea
son.
Osborne said the pair will be better
suited in their new programs.
“With Gragnano, his speed needs
to be in a drop-back passing offense,”
Osborne said. “Jones did everything
well, but he was very impatient and
wanted to go somewhere where he
could be a two or three-year starter.”
The Nebraska coach said the ab
sence of the two players might actu
ally be a blessing in the quarterback
race.
“It makes the situation better, be
cause now we’re not so cluttered,”
Osborne said.
On the other side of the field, the
departure of Havens came as little
surprise after he was permanently
suspended for participating in a brawl
in the spring between Huskcr football
and baseball players.
Havens, who is from Los A lamitos,
Calif, will transfer to the University
of California.
