Zach Weinmaster announced he was committed to the Nebraska football team last week. Because that announcement was a bit under the radar its possible some Husker fans missed it. There are some things to be known about Weinmaster.
He's a 'preferred' walk-on
Weinmaster is a kind "extra" pickup for the Huskers as he won't count against their scholarship limit. This is especially surprising because he's not an in-state kid, rather he hails from Colorado.
Thank you Lord. Committed to Nebraska. #GBR ❗️❕ pic.twitter.com/y46Ca8Xmxc

This wasn't an immmediate turnaround
The Huskers offered Weinmaster on October 20. It took him about a month to decide if he wanted to walk on at Nebraska. When you consider that in-state kids tend to say yes right away, he definitely had to put some thought into it.
So thankful. Blessed to announce I have been given the opportunity to play as a walk-on ATH for one of the most known football programs in the country. Thank you @coachwilhite and the rest of @HuskerFBNation for the opportunity. #GBR ❕❗️all praise and glory to the Lord. pic.twitter.com/ZxPIruIq4T

He could be a poor man's Spielman
While Weinmaster played running back in high school, it's likely he'll be more of an R receiver at Nebraska. That's where Spielman plays now.
