The Nebraska football team has made another significant addition in a great emergency.
Stephon Wynn, defender for the Alabama transfer, announced Sunday that he is joining the Huskers in a 35-second video featuring former blackshirts Ndamukong Suh and Grant Wistrom, among others.
The 6-foot-4, 307-pound Wynn, who spent four years in a stacked defensive line room in Alabama, will have two more seasons with the Huskers.
Wynn, a four-star nominee from the IMG Academy in 2018, never saw big playing time with the Crimson Tide thanks to the ridiculous depth Alabama stacks at the position each season.
In 2021, Wynn appeared in seven games, recording five tackles and a quarterback rush.
Nebraska is now two above the NCAA-mandated 85 scholarship limit for 2022 and will need to shuffle some rosters to get Williams fit. However, with a full summer ahead of us, there is still plenty of time to ensure there may be room for Williams and other potential transfers joining the scheme.
