According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, a call about a pickup truck that was off the road and between trees was received at 6:42 AM. When police arrived, they discovered Pensick, who had been operating a 2022 Chevy Silverado, already dead. According to the police, he left the road and didn’t stop at a stop sign, which resulted in a single-vehicle accident.
Cole was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, according to law authorities, but they noted that they are still looking into the mishap.
Pensick was a standout at Nebraska; in his senior year, he participated in 13 games, starting 12, and was chosen by coaches from across the conference to the All-Big Ten second team.
Pensick was a key member of the Husker offensive line in 2013. The 2013 group has powered Nebraska into one of the Big Ten’s top rushing teams this fall and during that season, Pensick showed great versatility throughout his NU career, with the capability to play both center and guard.
A photo shared by Lincoln Journal Star hinted that Cole is married to Valerie Vetick. Pensick was born to his parents, Dan Pensick and Bev Pensick, in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Mysterious NCAA rule may allow Nebraska to reduce its roster as the transfer deadline approaches.
Nebraska will have a busy few weeks as it approaches the 85-man scholarship cap due to an obscure NCAA rule. Since the Huskers’ 39-man recruiting class in February, which included 27 high school prospects, 11 transfers, and one junior player, their total number of scholarship counters has surpassed 100, attrition has been unavoidable. Prior to the start of spring workouts last month, three scholarship players quit the team.
Double-digit others must inevitably follow, whether on purpose or not. Beginning on Saturday and lasting through April 30, players have access to the transfer window through the site.
The 452-page NCAA Division I Manual has a 112-word entry that offers programmes with new head coaches more freedom to immediately restructure their rosters. The “Aid After Departure of Head Coach” provision, also known as 15.5.1.8, permits a school’s first-year head coaches to decline an athlete’s invitation to return to the team as long as they cease competing and focus on their studies instead. After then, the athlete would no longer be included in a program’s overall total.
