LINCOLN — Mike Minter Jr. isn't going to lie. He wants a football scholarship offer from Nebraska.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder moved from North Carolina to Lincoln North Star to get it. He's willing to learn cornerback for it. And his dad, Mike Minter Sr., was an All-Big 12 safety for the Huskers in 1996.
Saturday, the son will be among a glut of high school players attending NU's Junior Day — an open house designed to impress prospective targets for the 2013 recruiting class.
It's a key event for the Huskers, who are hosting several top-rated area prospects and should have the room for their biggest recruiting class since 2008, when they signed 28 players.
Minter hopes it's a big day for him, too.
"I'm just hoping they are going to offer me," he told Huskers Illustrated, a recruiting partner with The World-Herald. "That's why I'm going this weekend — to hopefully see that offer."
