Nebraska football head coach Bo Pelini has dismissed running Quentin Castille. Bo did not give specifics when asked what team policies and guidelines Castille violated. Bo also announced six in-state players have been placed on scholarship. They are say what led to his decision announced Saturday that six members of the Cornhusker football team have been placed on scholarship. All six of the former walk-ons awarded scholarships are native Nebraskans, and the group includes three seniors, two juniors and a sophomore.
The players added to scholarship include senior wide receiver Wes Cammack (DeWitt), senior linebacker Colton Koehler (Harvard), senior offensive guard Derek Meyer (Campbell), junior place-kicker Alex Henery (Omaha), junior tight end Dreu Young (Cozad) and sophomore center Mike Caputo (Omaha).
Pelini said each of the players has earned the opportunity to be placed on scholarship.
"This is a great group of guys and it is great to be able to have the ability to recognize their contributions by placing them on scholarship," Pelini said. "Each of those guys has shown a great commitment to our football program, and they do things the right way on and off the field."
