LINCOLN – After speculation regarding the addition of another quarterback to the Nebraska football program, the 2023 NAIA player of the year announced his intention to join the Big Red.
Jalyn Gramstad, a former NAIA quarterback out of Northwestern College in Iowa, announced via social media Thursday his plans to join the Husker Football team.
The Huskers reportedly saw Gramstad at a recent postgrad camp hosted by Nebraska.
Gramstad, the Lester, Iowa native, stated he expects to use his remaining collegiate eligibility with the Huskers. The long-time Husker fan was a NAIA first-team All-American, GPAC Player of the Year, and first team All-GPAC performer in 2023 with the Red Raiders. This past season, Gramstad surpassed 3,000 passing yards, leading the NAIA in passing yards and completion percentage.
In 2022 as a sophomore, Gramstad was a second-team All-GPAC quarterback. He began his career on defense, totaling 67 tackles in 2020 and 2021 and five interceptions.
