FROM A WALK-ON TO A SCHOLARSHIP!

LHS grad, Kenneth Williams (32), on his way to an 85-yard kick-off return, setting up a Husker touchdown!  Kenny earned a scholarship after this outstanding showing at the Nebraska-Maryland game on October 10th.  His track stats from LHS caught the attention of Husker Coach Matt Ruhle. Click here for the LJS story.

10/25 Update: At the NU v. Northwestern football game Kenneth got his first kick-off return for a touchdown at the start of the second half sparking the Huskers win at home! His speed took him 95 yards, a run back for a TD that hasn't happened since 2017.
