  Even Ochaun Mathis, one of the country's top-rated transfers who spent last winter being wooed by college programs, was impressed by Stephon Wynn's credentials. When Wynn, the former Alabama defensive lineman, committed to Nebraska in May, Mathis had the same thought as most Husker fans. "He came from Bama," Mathis said. "We got a guy. We got a stud." With such pedigree comes a bevy of questions. Wynn said "everybody" on his new team wants to know what it's like to play for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide, what it's like to win a national title. And the big one: What's the secret to Bama's success? "Consistency," Wynn said when asked that question Monday. "If you come in and have a bad day, you're gonna lose your job. So it's about always being competitive, always trying to get better, never settle."

Wynn learned that lesson the hard way during his four seasons in Tuscaloosa. Despite arriving on campus as a high-end four-star recruit, Wynn appeared in just 12 games under Saban. Why? Wynn says injuries played a role. His ankle, his knee, a torn labrum. "Every camp I (participated in) there, I was hurt," Wynn said. "That caused a lot of issues with my playing time." It also tested Wynn's mettle. While waiting four seasons for limited opportunities, Wynn had to remind himself that he "wasn't doing this (work) for nothing." He summoned internal motivation from outworking his teammates. And he remembered the slogan his parents taught him growing up. "If you can be more, do more," Wynn said. - Omaha World-Herald
