2012 Outlook
Lincoln native Will Sailors will look to add depth for the Huskers on a veteran offensive line in 2012. The 6-3, 270-pound Sailors joined the Huskers as a walk-on from Lincoln Northeast High School and worked on the Husker scout team during a redshirt season in 2011. Sailors missed part of spring ball because of injury, and is expected to start fall practice at offensive guard.

2011 (Redshirt)
Sailors redshirted in his first season in the progam.

Before Nebraska (Lincoln Northeast HS)
Sailors helped Lincoln Northeast High School to a 7-4 record and a trip to the Class A state quarterfinals in 2010. Sailors lined up at offensive tackle for Coach Justin Smith and the Rockets. For his efforts, Sailors was a second-team Super-State selection by the Lincoln Journal Star and a first-team Class A all-state pick by both the Journal Star and the Omaha World-Herald. Sailors had drawn interest from Northwest Missouri State.
