Mark Woodsum from the Chicago area has been awarded a scholarship. He had walked on last year and has moved on to the 2 deep as a Tight end/"Superback." He was one of 5 walkons or former walkons with scholarships playing on the offense.
The NU Receivers seem to have all of the injuries: Tight End Frayne Abernathy is out for the next 2-4 weeks, along with WRs Kevin Frymire, and Kim Thompson. Reserve Tackle/Center Austin Matthews, one of the Offensive linemen with significant game experience, is still out with a leg injury, C.J. Bacher` who ended the Spring as a strong candidate for starting quarterback seems to have fallen to 3rd place behind both Mike Kafka and Andrew Brewer. Bacher has been nursing a stress fracture in his leg, making it hard to plant and throw.
