Do you remember Covid-19 and how it changed your life? You could easily let it defeat you as a young student-athlete or make you realize more and more that the things some think are sacrifices are only your way of life. If Covid-19 and Omaha Public Schools canceling football for a year wasn't enough, imagine trying to live your dreams to become a future Husker by going through not 1, not 2, but 3 different coaching regimes. We share the story of Senior Mason Jones for Omaha Burke Bulldogs, who will be a Preferred Walk-On just 45 minutes up the road for the Nebraska Cornhuskers 2023 class, the first class under new Head Coach Matt Rhule. Mason and his dad Mike Jones share how dedication, leadership, and hard work from this young man show his younger siblings a bright future ahead, and he won't be down there to watch; he is going for the dream of a scholarship.
