Kansas stars commit to NU
By David Wilson
t Staff Reporter
A trio of seniors from Shawnee
Mission (Kan.) Northwest High School
have given verbal commitments to play
football for Nebraska next season.
Rush end J.P. Wichmann, utility
player Ben Comelsen and linebacker
Grant Bunton were all offered schol
arships on Sunday from NU Coach
Tom Osborne, Northwest Coach Scott
Diebold said Wednesday.
“Obviously, when you get an offer
like that,” Diebold said, “there’s not a
lot of decision making.”
In his 11 years at Northwest,
Diebold said, he had never sent three
athletes to the same Division I univer
sity.
“It doesn’t surprise me that they’re
all going to Division I schools,”
Diebold said. “But all three to Ne
braska?”
Diebold said he sent film to Ne
braska after Northwest finished its 7-2
season in Class 6A, the state’s largest
class.
“They were interested, and they
wanted to see a little more,” Diebold
said. “They obviously liked what they
saw in all three of them.”
Bunton led Northwest with 156
tackles this season, but the 6-foot-1,
200-pounder also put up a 3.98 grade
point average in the classroom.
Unlike the other two, Bunton will
not be given a football scholarship as
a freshman, but he will attend NU on
an academic scholarship and walk on
to the football team. Athletes cannot
sign letters of intent until Feb. 5.
Wichmann was the second-leading
tackier for Northwest. The 6-4, 210
pounder was timed running the 40-yard
dash in 4.6 seconds at a Reebok com
bine held at Arrowhead Stadium last
summer.
The player with the greatest chance
to play as a true freshman, Diebold
said, is Comelsen, the best all-around
athlete of the bunch.
“He can do it all,” Diebold said.
Comelsen, a 6-foot, 175 pounder,
runs a 4.55-second 40-yard dash and
finished fifth in his league in rushing,
while scoring 13 touchdowns.
The three players, who all have
qualified academically, made unofficial
visits last Friday and attended the Colo
rado game by invitation from the NU
coaches.
“All three are good students and
quality citizens,” Diebold said.
“They’re just great young men.”
Mackovic: Texas will be ready
TEXAS from page 9
let it all hang out,” he said. “We called
more plays and did more good things
than at any time this season.”
The matchup between the Texas
offense and the Husker defense is a
major concern for Mackovic heading
into Saturday’s 12:04 p.m. game at the
Trans World Dome.
Mackovic said Nebraska’s defen
sive line is one of the best he’s ever
seen. Still, Texas presents three differ
ent problems offensively, Mackovic
said, something NU has not encoun
tered this season.
One is quarterback James Brown,
who has already predicted a three
touchdown Texas victory. Brown is one
I-1-m-1 '
of the quickest quarterbacks in the Big
12, and he ranks 27th nationally in to
tal offense with 2,227 yards this sea
son.
“We think James can give Nebraska
a different look from what they’ve seen
so far,” Mackovic said. “He has a lot
of confidence right now and is playing
at the level we need him to be at.”
The Longhorn offense also show
cases a pair of standout running backs,
sophomore Ricky Williams and senior
Shon Mitchell. Williams leads the team
with 1,265 rushing yards and 12 touch
downs. Mitchell has added 609 yards
and four touchdowns.
“There’s a lot of teams that have
one great running back,” Mackovic
said, “but we have two that can get the
job done.
Not to be forgotten is senior wide
receiver Mike Adams. Adams already
holds UT career records for receptions,
receiving yards and touchdowns. And
he is second in all-purpose yards.
Despite the offensive weaponry,
Mackovic said, Texas will have to ex
ecute to near perfection in order to put
a serious dent in the Blackshirt defense,
which has allowed five touchdowns
this season.
“We’ve got to put a lot of different
looks into the game and execute at a
very high level,” Mackovic said.
“Both teams deserve to be here,”
he said. “It’s going to be a hard-fought,
four-quarter type of game. There won’t
be any quit on either side.”
