Husker Legend Inspires Kids to go to College
Nebraska football royalty visits Lincoln to encourage local kids to go to college.
Prince Amukamara stopped by Lincoln High School Wednesday.
He was there to talk about "Collegebound Nebraska".
It's a program which guarantees any student who qualifies for a federal pell grant can attend the university free of charge.
Amukamara says even though he is a Superbowl champion, he considers graduating college one of his greatest accomplishments.
He says, "Nebraska's always been a great state that helped mold me into the man I am today, so always giving back to the community that has done so much for me means a lot."
Amukamara graduated from UNL in three and a half years.
He says he hopes his story can inspire other students to go to college and follow their dreams.
