‘It’s all about living in my heart’: Husker senior JoJo Domann’s evolution is happening on and off the field | Football



“I’m happy for JoJo. Anytime he has success, I’m really happy for him,” Nebraska coach Scott Frost said. “He’s been here through a lot, seen a lot, held up through a lot. He’s a good player for us. He’s got better players around him now than he’s had before and when plays are there for him to make, he makes them.

“So, he’s a key part of what we’re doing and I’m really glad I’ve had the opportunity to coach him.”

‘Right where I need to be’

This season at Nebraska could have just as easily not happened for Domann. He could have decided to turn pro after playing virtually every snap for the Huskers in 2020 over the eight-game season and leading the team in tackles and TFLs.

Instead, he opted to use the NCAA’s extra year of eligibility and announced his decision Jan. 2. A pure football-related decision. Then a summer of upheaval in college athletics introduced the next opportunity for Domann and college athletes around the country.

“I didn’t know NIL was going to get passed July 1,” Domann said. “Honestly, I was putting my money that it would get delayed again and delayed again.”

When it passed, though, Domann was in exactly the right spot. His dad, Craig, is a sports agent and his mom, Teddi, is in marketing.
