“The doctor took my helmet, so I couldn’t go back in, but then toward the end I actually yanked my helmet from him. We were down by a touchdown and about to get the ball back and I was starting to warm up on the sideline and I was just going to run a go route and have my brother throw it to me and just run as fast as I can. If I would have fallen on it (his shoulder), or even got hit, it would have come out again. But then we ended up having a penalty on defense on the punt — roughing the kicker — so automatic first down and we never got the ball back. Game over.”

Domann was named the Colorado Gatorade player of the year. He was picked to play in two all-star games, the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl in Carson, California, and the International Bowl this week in Arlington, Texas. He was able to attend both events despite not being able to play, and has enjoyed the experience.

At the Semper Fidelis game, Domann was roommates with one of his future Husker teammates, wide receiver JD Spielman of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

After having surgery, Domann had to miss his final season of basketball, and the injury changed his perspective.
