The changing of the guard at Kansas State apparently has caused repercussions for the Nebraska football team.
On Monday night, KC Metro Sports.com, based in Kansas City, Mo., reported that Grandview, Mo., quarterback Josh Freeman has changed his mind and will play football for the Wildcats instead of the Huskers.
“Nebraska is a great opportunity, but you only get to pick college once. I would hate to go to Nebraska and get redshirted. And that was the vibe I was getting from their coaches,” Freeman told Rivals.com on Monday night.
Freeman, who had verbally committed to NU in June, said he changed his mind after meeting new KSU head coach Ron Prince for the second time.
“He’s a young guy, and the energy I felt from him was different,” Freeman said of the new Kansas State coach.
Prince had recruited Freeman while offensive coordinator at Virginia. Freeman visited with Prince in Manhattan, Kan., for more than seven hours Sunday.
Freeman’s dad, Ron Freeman, told Metro Sports: “If a guy was going to mentor my son, I couldn’t do better than Prince.”
Freeman will reportedly start school at KSU in the spring.
Freeman, at 6-foot-5 and 226 pounds, was a four-star recruit in Rivals.com’s five-star system and when he committed to NU, had turned down offers from Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Wisconsin, among others.
Verbal commitments are non-binding until a player signs a national letter of intent.
