Mississippi I-back to play for NtT
RECRUITS from page 10
“In all the years that I’ve
coached,” Foster said, “he’s the best
player that I’ve ever coached.
“I’Ve played against Walter
Payton and Emmitt Smith. He
(Buckhalter) has all the tools and
characteristics of those guys —
except he’s bigger.”
t Foster said Buckhalter, who can
run the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds
and has qualified academically,
will fit in at Nebraska.
Buckhalter said he’s aware of
NU’s tradition at I-back but thinks
he has a chance to contribute as a
true freshman next season. Th£
Huskers return only two scholar
ship I-backs, junior-to-be Ahman
Green and sophomore De Angelo
Evans.
“I know about Mike Rozier,
Lawrence Phillips,^Anman Green,
and De Angelo Evans,” Buckhalter
said. “I’m real familiar with all of
them and I think I can'fit in.”
In the last month, NU has also
received commitments from five
other players, two of whom have
already signed letters of intent and
enrolled at Nebraska.
Joe Walker, a comerback from
Arlington, Texas, originally signed
with Baylor last February, but he
did not qualify academically.
Walker, who became eligible last
fall, chose Nebraska in a visit to
Lincoln last weekend.
Glen Matthews, a lineman from
«*> - ' • •; '• *
Chicago, also enrolled this week.
Matthews, who has two remaining
years of eligibility, attended junior
college at the Noth Dakota School
of Science. Matthews and Walker
will participate in spring practice
in April.
High school seniors Dominic
Raiola, a lineman from Honolulu,
cornerback Dion Booker, from
Oceanside, Calif., and tight end
Tracey Wistrom, from Webb City,
Mo., have also committed to sign
with NU on Feb. 5.
Booker and Wistrom follow
their older brothers, Michael and
Grant—both starters on NU’s de
fense for the last two seasons—to
Lincoln.

Thompson tops win list
THOMPSON from page 10
This weekend at the Cliff Keen
National Dual Championships at the
NU Coliseum, Coach Tim Neumann
said he hopes the fourth-ranked Th
ompson gets the chance to face two of
the three heavyweights rated ahead of
him.
“(Tolly’s) only going to have one
opportunity to move up in the
rankings, and that’s this weekend,”
Neumann said.
Coming into the National Duals,
the top-ranked heavyweight is Penn
State’s Kerry McCoy. McCoy won the
1994 heavyweight national champion.
“If he doesn’t get to see McCoy or
Justin Harty this weekend, he’s going
to have to go through McCoy to get to
somebody in the finals at the NCAAs,”
Neumann said.
Harty, the third-ranked heavy
weight from North Carolina, has be
come a thorn in Thompson’s side.
Harty and Thompson met at last year’s
NCAA Championships with Harty
preventing Thompson from a repeat.
Harty had to settle for runner-up hon
ors as Thompson finished third.
Thompson’s quest to knock off a
higher-rated wrestler will be difficult,
much like the Huskers’ chances to
knock off a national power this week
end. For the first time since NU has
played host to the duals, the Huskers
will not be seeded — the top eight
teams are seeded—and will be drawn
into the tournament Friday night.
Neumann said Thompson needs to
put the struggles of this young team
behind him and concentrate on the one
thing he knows best -— winning.
“Tolly’s mature enough to know
that if it’s your senior year, and you’ve
been a national champion once and
third once, it’s time to get selfish,”
«
You can always
count on a win from
him.”
Mark Cody
Husker assistant coach
Neumann said.
Thompson doesn’t see it that way.
“They’re (the team) just as good
as I am,” Thompson said. “Records
are meant to be broken.”
With him holding the career wins
record, and four falls shy from another
record, one might ask if Thompson is
the best wrestler in Nebraska history.
He says no, but the Husker coach
ing staff doesn’t agree. Neumann said
Thompson is the-best wrestler at NU
that he’s seen since his arrival in 1978.
Husker Assistant Mark Cody
agrees with Neumann.
“He’s consistently the best wrestler
in Nebraska history,” Cody said. “You
can always count on a win from him.”
Cody said no one in the country is
more aggressive or stronger than Th
ompson, and the reasoning for that can
be traced to the return of legendary
Husker wrestler Rulon Gardner.
Gardner came back this year strictly
to help Thompson earn back the na
tional title.
Thompson’s only goal this season
is tobe the best in the nation at heavy
weight. And Cody said Thompson
should return to the top of the heap
again.
“He’s head and heels above the
rest.”
