Another Wistrom coming to NU

The daughter of a Nebraska football legend is going to be a Husker — as a soccer player.

Charlie Wistrom on Monday announced her commitment to the NU women’s soccer team. She is a 2025 prospect who will arrive as a forward and attacking midfielder. She is also a legacy recruit of sorts considering her father, former defensive end Grant Wistrom, has his No. 98 jersey number honored inside Memorial Stadium.
“She could not have chosen a better spot to land,” Grant Wistrom wrote on social media. “Thanks for bringing us home, Charlie girl. There is no place like Nebraska!”

The younger Wistrom is a standout scorer at Glendale High School in Springfield, Missouri, and trains with a club team three hours away in St. Louis while maintaining a grade-point average well above a 4.0. She also made headlines as a sophomore when she served as kicker for the Glendale football team — her dad is an assistant coach — that reached out to her with a need.
