Caleb Lightbourn to...

[HBK4life_rivals100467]

Oregon State. Best of luck.

 

[phoenix4nu]

I’m surprised that even they would take him.

 

[Nate004]

I'd call Oregon St. our B team... But its probably more like a C- or D team.

 

[o_Hit]

I think Oregon State will require more than 30 yard punts to be successful .

 

[Redscarlet]

Hip Hip Hooray!

 

[schuele]

Wish him all the best, but I still can't get the image of that onside kick against Ohio State out of my head.

it was a top ten all time classic.

 

[MOhusker12]

He should have a good chance to play, Oregon State punts so much that I am sure they will need to use more than one punter.Laughing

Lightbourn's story is a strange one do kinda feel for the guy and wish him well.

Thrown in unexpectedly his freshman year and doing ok under the circumstances. But he really didn't progress. Maybe some of that was shell shock and/or maybe work ethic.

Strange thing, watch him during pregame warmups and the receiver could stand in a spot and he wouldn't have to move because Caleb would put the ball on the money.... almost every time that I watched. In the game....oh my. Life is like a box of chocolates.

I don't know, kicker types are strange ducks at times.

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

Literally the worst punter I've ever seen at NU. Good luck to him at OSU though.

 

[HominidHusker]

Oregan St gets to coast in recruiting if they get to just pick up all of our drop outs.

 

[huskernaut_rivals292165]

He's gonna fatigue that leg by the end of the season.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

He would have been fine at Nebraska if he could have kicked the ball higher and further...and not missed that one kickoff.

 

[kaz36_rivals189319]

I'd call Oregon St. our B team... But its probably more like a C- or D team.

When Riley was here I think the Huskers were the B or C team.

 

[Harry Caray]

Are they actually giving him a scholarship? You could probably find a better punter at any walk-on tryout at any college in the country.

 

[goldencohusker]

Wish him all the best, but I still can't get the image of that onside kick against Ohio State out of my head.

Lightborne's onside kick and Jake Cotton's tipover at the line of scrimmage have to be the two of the most embarrassing single-moments for NU football over the past decade, if not longer. Luckily we will never have to watch those during the future tunnel walks.

 

[Ewooc]

I wish the kid well, he had a rough go. Apparently Oregon st is fine with being the clean up crew for Neb.

Oh yeah the botched onside kick, ugh thanks for the reminder

 

[DuecesWild969]

His blunders will definitely get them on TV more. Replayed over and over

Yep. How sad. One end of the spectrum is Johnny the jets punt return, crouch vs Mizzou, Tommie Fraziaaaaaaaa vs Florida, and Terry Connealys sack of Costa. On the other end......the two you mentioned. My.

I think that clown exposee sealed his fate. Jeesh..

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Dude got the yips something fierce. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs.

 

[BHeinDaHuskers]

Whatever happened to Keyshawn Jr. and is his quarterback starting for Oregon St next year?

Key Jr last I heard was at Arizona and not even on the roster.

 

[BeautifulDayintheNeighborhood]

I wish him the best Of luck

I'd be surprised if Gebbia beat out Jake Luton.

This was all a premeditated plan by Frost to get even with OSU for poaching Gebbia at the last minute... Frost thinks, "Hmm...let's see who can we "process" to get even with OSU? I know, Caleb, you're the man. Pack your bags". Really I hope the kid has all kinds of success there. Good kid. Nice obscure place to try to restart his football career. There's plenty of NFL kickers and punters who have bloopers out there as well. If you aren't on video, they can't show it....
