Dylan Jorgensen Season 2019

2019 (Redshirt)
Dylan Jorgensen began the year as Nebraska's starting place-kicker, but he appeared in only two games on the season while redshirting. Jorgensen handled Nebraska's place-kicking and kickoff duties in the season opener against South Alabama, becoming the first Husker true freshman walk on to start a season opener since Andy Janovich in 2012. Jorgensen made all four of his PAT attempts against the Jaguars and had one touchback in six kickoffs. The next week at Colorado, Jorgensen recorded touchbacks on each of his two kickoffs. Jorgensen dealt with injuries following the Colorado game and did not play again the remainder of the season.
