Former Nebraska Cornhuskers' linebacker Ernest Haussman is glad to be a Michigan Wolverine. But he understands that he wouldn't be where he is today if he hadn't gotten a start in Lincoln.
The defender was at Big Ten Football Media Days in Las Vegas on Thursday, representing his current team, and during a side session with the media, Hausmann was asked how playing at Nebraska as a freshman set him up for future success.
"It laid a huge foundation," Hausmann said. "The main thing I really think it helped me with was knowing I have a process, in which I was able to use to be successful, that really translated to my on-field success."

Hopefully, this is the beginning of Fidone showing he's put his Husker struggles behind him and become a force in the NFL.
