Former Duke star, Paulus visits Nebraska

Greg Paulus, of Duke basketball fame, Friday concluded his two-day visit to the Nebraska campus as he looks for a place to play quarterback.

The former Blue Devils’ point guard has been exploring the possibility of playing one year of quarterback at the college level — with Syracuse and Nebraska seeming to head his list of options. Paulus visited Syracuse at the beginning of this week.

When will the decision come? “Sooner than later, I think,” Joe Casamento, Paulus’ high school coach, told the Lincoln Journal Star on Wednesday. “I don’t think it will go on more than two weeks.”

Paulus is a former national high school football player of the year, but has spent the last four years on the hardwood, which has led to some skepticism about how much he could really add to a football program in just a year.
