Nebraska’s Jon Vedral catches a snap on a field goal attempt last Saturday during a Cornhusker
scrimmage. Vedral is Nebraska’s top returning receiver from a year ago.
Wingback wants to lead
'
oy i revor paries
Senior Reporter
Even though Jon Vedral’s normal
position is wingback, he doesn’t mind
holding on extra points and field goals
or being the guy who falls on fumbles
for touchdowns.
In fact, it’s Vedral’s all-around play
that has made him an impact player
for the Nebraska football team.
“We call him the pit bull because
that’s the way he plays,” receivers
coach Ron Brown said. “He’s one of
the toughest receivers we’ve ever had
here.”
But Vedral does not want to be re
membered as a receiver or the man
who holds kicks.
“I just want to be known as a player
who always gets the job done,” Vedral
said.
Since walking on in 1992, the 5
foot-11-inch, 205-pound senior-to-be,
has been getting the job done as one
of the Cornhuskers’ most versatile
players.
Last season, he caught 14 passes for
272 yards and a team-leading five
touchdowns while alternating with
Clcstcr Johnson at wingback. He was
also the holder for kicker Kris Brown
and picked up one tackle as a member
of the special teams.
Vedral recovered fumbles for
touchdowns against Kansas and Kan
sas State. Now the Huskers’ No. 1
wingback, he has made major strides
since this time a year ago.
The native of Gregory, S.D., said
he was unsure of himself going into
the spring of 1995. But after playing a
big part in all 12 games last season, he
is more experienced this spring than
the Vedral of old.
“It’s a lot easier coming into the
“I just want to be known as a player who always
gets the job done. ”

Nebraska wingback
spring knowing what you are doing,”
Vedral said. “I had a good spring, and
it helped me going into the season last
year.
In 1994, an inexpcrienccdVedral —
who later earned a scholarship and now
owns the all-time school record in the
pro-agility run with a time of 3.78 sec
onds — had only one reception. But
he led the special teams with 11 tack
les and also completed two passes, one
of which was a desperation two-point
conversion to kicker Darin Erstad
against Oklahoma State.
As a junior, he started only one
game, but that will change in 1996.
He and senior split end Brendan
Holbein will be the leaders of a group
of inexperienced receivers. Behind
Vedral at wingback arc sophomores
Lance Brown and Shcvin Wiggins and
junior Scan Wicting.
Of the four wingbacks, only Vedral
has seen substantial playing time. With
two receptions last year, Brown is the
only other wingback to catch a pass.
With that inexperience, Vedral said
he would have to step forward and as
sume the leadership role vacated by
Johnson.
“Hopefully I’ll show some leader
ship here and there,” Vedral said, “and
I can help the new guys learn because
I have a lot of experience.”
Holbein started nine games last sea
son ui spiit end and leads a group that
includes junior Jeff Lake and sopho
more Kenny Cheatham.
The Huskcrs will welcome three
true freshman receivers next year, any
of whom could compete for playing
time. J.R. Edwards of Lincoln South
east, John Gibson of Papillion-LaVista
and Khari Reynolds of Mays Landing,
N.J., signed with Nebraska in Febru
ary.
Brown said the talent of all of the
receivers was good.
“Wc have a lot of youth, and we
have a lot of ability,” Brown said. “I’m
very optimistic about them, but it will
depend on their ability to mature over
this spring and heading into the fall.”
At tight end, junior Tim Carpenter
is listed No. 1, but he suffered a knee
injury on April 6 and has missed the
final three weeks of the spring.
Carpenter's injury has allowed sopho
more Sheldon Jackson and junior
Vershan Jackson to play more.
Even with the loss of two-year
starter Mark Gilman, the tight end po
sition is in good shape, Brown said.
“It is as good as we’ve had talent
wise in a number of years,” Brown
said. “They are very young, and it’s a
very good group.”
All of the receivers, Vedral said, arc
very talented and can lead Nebraska
to a third straight national title.
“We want a third straight title, and
I know that’s all that’s on my mind
because I don’t want to lose,” Vedral
said.
Win gives golfers respect
By Mike Kluck
Senior Reporter
Nebraska men’s golf coach Larry
Romjue has been looking all season
for one of his golfers to step forward
ana win a tourna
ment.
On Tuesday at
the Shocker Classic
at Tallgrass Coun
try Club in Wichita,
Kan., Romjue had
three players finish
the tournament
with the toD score.
Madden Junior Jacques
Paiement and freshmen Steve Friescn
and Josh Madden all finished the 54
hole tournament with a score of 221.
Madden won the individual title by
firing a birdie on the first hole of the
playoff. On Madden’s second shot he
hit the pin, nearly scoring an eagle,
which allowed him to have a short tan
in putt for the win.
Having the three top scores, the
Cornhuskcrs were able to walk away
with the team championship. The
Huskers outscored second-place Drake
by 17 strokes, 896-913. The Huskers
finished 19 strokes ahead of confer
ence rival Iowa State, 23 ahead of Kan
sas State and 25 ahead of Kansas.
“This was a good win for us,”
Romjuc said. “This was a good tour
nament for us, and it helps because we
don’t get that many wins.”
Romjue said the tournament was
also beneficial because it gave the
Huskers a chance to compete against
their climate contemporaries.
So far this season, the Huskers have
competed against warm-weather
schools, but most of the schools in the
Shocker Classic came from climates
similar to what Nebraska is forced to
practice in every day.
Another reason the tournament was
positive for the Huskers, Romjuc said,
was because it should give them mo
mentum for the Big Eight Tourna
ment, Monday and Tuesday in
Hutchinson, Kan.
Beating Iowa State, Kansas and
Kansas State in Wichita should have
earned Nebraska respect from the rest
of the conference opponents, Romjuc
said.
Winning the Shocker Classic also
has helped the Huskers chances for
regionals. May 16-18 in Ann Arbor,
Mich.
“This should help us quite a bit,”
Romjue said. “This should be the thing
that put us over the edge. The players
knew what was at stake and that this
was an important tournament fof
regionals.
“We performed accordingly with
our experienced players, plus the new
players are playing like experienced
players, and that made a difference.”
