Huskers add two year grad transfer from Utah

The roster management continues for Nebraska.

On Friday, former Utah defensive lineman Vaha Vainuku announced on Twitter he was coming to Nebraska after a visit to Lincoln the last two days.

HuskerOnline has been able to confirm that Vainuku will be a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining for the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Nebraska can't officially acknowledge the transfer until Vainuku signs grant and aid scholarship papers.

Vainuku originally signed with Utah in 2012 but went on a two-year LDS Mission. He played in both the 2015 and 2016 seasons at Utah, before medically retiring this past season.

HOL is still trying to get more details on his path to NU, but he will be a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.
