Four Current Huskers to Graduate on Saturday
Four Huskers on the 2003 team will receive their diplomas on Saturday. The list includes defensive backs Pat Ricketts, Jerrell Pippens, linebacker Chad Buller and quarterback Jammal Lord. Earlier in the day, Lord was contemplating delaying his graduation until December, because he didn't think his mother, Claudia, was going to be able to make it to Lincoln this weekend. Her flight was canceled because of the power outages in the New Jersey area. Jammal and Coach Solich found out after practice interviews, that she did indeed secure a flight, and Jammal will participate in tomorrow's ceremony (see separate release).

'Tomorrow is a big day for several of our players,' Solich said. Pat, Chad, Jerrell and Jammal will all graduate, giving us a total of nine players on the team who will play with a degree in hand. We are very proud of their accomplishments.'

Sewell Named to Rimington Trophy Watch List
University of Nebraska center Josh Sewell was tabbed as one of 38 members of the Dave Rimington Trophy Watch List released Friday. The 6-2, 300-pound senior from Lincoln Southeast was a backup to two-year starter John Garrison at the position a year ago and recorded 11 pancakes in five contests. A former walk-on who transferred from Indiana State, Sewell was a finalist for Lifter of the Year this past spring. He will attempt to become the second Husker winner in the award's four-year history, following inaugural winner Dominic Raiola in 2000.
