“They said this was one of the best groups they’ve ever had,” Frost said. “They killed it. I don’t know if that means anything to you, but watching our team bond like that, working together and holding each other to a high standard — it’s a signal and a sign to me of how far we’ve come as a team in a short period of time and the huge opportunity we have moving forward.”

Frost also touted the rejuvenation of the walk-on program, which was an integral part of Nebraska’s success during its national championship years. He said Nebraska’s roster will have 155 kids, which is about 30 more than the next highest in the Big Ten.

“I don’t have to tell you guys how important the walk-on program was here at Nebraska,” Frost said. “We’re going to work with those kids like we work with any scholarship kids. I think it’s going to take a couple years before you see the benefits of that. Some of those kids are going to develop into great football players, but it might take a few years. I think we might start to see some of that this year.”

Preseason camp starts Aug. 1, and the season opener against South Alabama at Memorial Stadium is Aug. 31.

“I don’t know how many wins and losses we’re going to have,” Frost said. “But I know it’s going to be a lot more fun than last year. So I look forward to seeing everybody at the stadium on Saturdays. I think you’re going to be proud of what you see on the field.”
