Hope so. But I’ve seen dudes just linger on some past rosters.But... he'll probably leave if he's not gonna play, right?
Pretty sure he is a Jr. He could transfer and redshirt next year.and he’s on scholarship for another 2 years...?
yes, but that isn't typical - in this situation not being disciplinary in nature, they would likely just non renew the annual contract, I think is how it works technically - unless this has changedCan a scholarship be stripped?
Despite losing his starting punter and kickoff duties, I was happy to see him be the first to congratulate and celebrate with Pickering when he made his field goals. There are quite a few players with scholarships that never got on the field today and may never in their career. As long as he is practicing hard and is involved, I don't think he needs to be shown the door. He has already started for over a year so it wouldn't hurt to have him around as a capable backup if something happens to our starters.
THIS!!!! Why do we have to shade this guy? He came in a rough spot andhas been a stand up guy...Despite losing his starting punter and kickoff duties, I was happy to see him be the first to congratulate and celebrate with Pickering when he made his field goals.

I don't think Frost can do what Saban would do since Big 10 scholarships are 4 year deals in general. Frost also cares about Husker football players who do things the right way unlike some fans.Frost needs to ask himself- WWSD (What would Saban do)?. We all know the answer to that question

THANK YOU!!!Frost doesn't need to ask himself what would Saban do.
going to the NFL, huh?Pretty sure he won’t be back after the Iowa game.
I agree with this. Plus he was put on scholarship due to an unfortunate circumstance. Stripping it Wouldn’t be the most professional thing to do. Just my opinion
He was a scholly guy from the get-go. Bruce Read & Co. wanted him bad and offered him.
Ober was the long snapper on the game winning FG. Maybe he doesn't do punts any more?In addition to Lightbourne, Jordan ober is no longer the starting long snapper. Don't think I've seen it mentioned on here, since we are semi talking special teams.
That's correct, depth chart lists separate starters for short (Ober) and long (Urbach) snappers on special teams.Ober was the long snapper on the game winning FG. Maybe he doesn't do punts any more?

Fair points. Both Bondi and Congdon transferred before exhausting their eligibility, Bondi to Hawaii and Congdon to USC.good point- Ober isn’t doing punt snaps cus coaches said Urbach is was better on downfield coverage (even got a fumble recovery).
Having schollys used on back up specialists hurts.
Hope we can get more quality walk-on specialists and then let them earn the scholly.
Personally, I think FG kicker has the most justification for a scholarship when there’s a talented kid to get, but we’ve seen some of those FG kickers also not be consistent starters ( Bondi, maybe Congdon).
He's a good kid with a big leg who was put in a difficult situation his freshman year. He's done his best and he hasn't "pissed off" Frost. Frost has tried to stick with him but Caleb just isn't able to locate his kicks or punts. I don't know if he stays or leaves but people need to be courteous to him. Good kid. No off field issues at all. Just hasn't developed and we don't have a special teams coach who can coach kickers like Scott Downing used to.I think Lightbourne is gone before next season. Not sure what happened to him. He had the talent IMO but somehow screwed it all up and pissed off Frost in the process. Must be some personal or off field issues going on in his life.
