At Nebraska, Khalil plans to major in interior design.

“I chose Nebraska because it has one of the most respected athletic programs in the country and a strong academic reputation. The coaching staff and players create an inspiring and supportive environment that truly feels like a family. I believe Nebraska is the best place for me to grow, both as a student and as an athlete, and to challenge myself to reach my full potential. The values of hard work, teamwork, and commitment that the university stands for perfectly match my own goals and character.”
