  As he sat at a podium Tuesday on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf for Big Ten media days, Nebraska tight end Travis Vokolek was asked about the individual goals he's set for this fall as his final season of college football approaches. In the midst of discussing his focus on becoming a leader, he had an epiphany. "I'm like the oldest guy on the team," the Nebraska tight end said. "I'm 24! It's crazy." A bonafide starter with a show-stealing mullet and a 6-foot-7, 260-pound frame that screams Sundays, Vokolek has a chance to be a breakout player in the Big Ten.

He'll need to be for the Cornhuskers and head coach Scott Frost, a program and coach facing a fork in the road. They went 3-9 last season, with all nine losses coming by single digits, and anything less than reaching a bowl game would be a crisis in Lincoln. Vokolek is taking it all in stride. "There's noise every year, positive and negative," Vokolek said. "Something we just have been focusing on is that it's about us in the locker room and in the facility, it's not about what everyone else thinks." However the season goes, it is guaranteed to be Vokolek's last, marking the end of a long college football journey that began at Rutgers. He spent two seasons there, right in the middle of Chris Ash's disastrous four-year tenure as head coach. - Star Ledger
