Kraus on Nebraska - “I chose Nebraska because of the warm and chic environment. When Lindenwood athletics was going through a tough time, Nebraska really stood out to me in a positive manner when I was on my visit. Nebraska has everything and more than you could even ask for. I was shocked at how many support systems there were and how well they take care of their student athletes. GBR!”
