My apologies for not looking it up before I posted. The Nebraska website lists him as a Senior but says he graduated in December 2020 with a degree in Nutrition and Health Sciences. Maybe he's in medical school.

My freshman roommate at Bursley Hall was a senior in the Art School.   When I graduated 4 years later, he was still a senior in the Art School.  I know he was amused by me when I showed as a total greenhorn, but I was equally amused by him when I ran into him on North Campus as I was getting ready to graduate and he was still "letting art flow over him" almost 4 years later.  

He was actually an outstanding artist and actually ended up being pretty successful in real estate... the Michigan Advantage.

Honas has been at Nebraska since Frost came back to Lincoln.  He first suffered a knee injury as a junior college player back in 2016 at El Dorado (Kan.) Butler C.C.

Honas redshirted the 2018 season at NU after tearing his ACL in the fourth game of the season at Michigan. In 2019 he played in all 12 games, and seven out of eight games in the shortened 2020 season.

He suffered another injury in a non-contact drill during the spring of 2021, which led him to pursue a rare seventh-year of eligibility from the NCAA.

He had been projected to be the Huskers' third linebacker, behind starters Luke Reimer and Nick Henrich.

In four seasons at Nebraska, Honas played in a total of 23 games, marking 145 total tackles, 12 tackles-for-loss and four quarterback sacks.

It'll be interesting to see where he lands.  I'm not sure many major programs are going to be willing to take a risk and guarantee a starting spot for a player coming off another knee injury.
