Nebraska’s JD Spielman blasts reporter over story on Tyjon Lindsey
Tyjon Lindsey, a former 4-star recruit for Nebraska for the Class of 2018, was granted his release from the program earlier this week.
This of course left a few Cornhusker fans feeling a bit salty. At the same time, though, Lindsey never truly got in stride at Nebraska. It’s not as though the Huskers just lost a huge chunk of their offense.
At the same time, however, fans are fanatics.
A story was released on Thursday by an Omaha World-Herald reporter — Kevin Coffey — that talked about Lindsey. And not about Lindsey on the field.
It was about Lindsey’s rapping career. Coffey, a scribe who typically writes about music for the Omaha World-Herald, had a point in writing the article. It’s about music and it’s about a hot new story in the world of Nebraska football.
Welcome, clicks. It should be said, though, that Coffey essentially gave a review on Lindsey’s rapping ability.
Current Nebraska WR J.D. Spielman had a problem with the whole thing. He defended Lindsey through Twitter:
You'll never guess Tyjon Lindsey's rap name. Now that he's left the #Huskers, he'll have more time to focus on becoming a rap star: https://t.co/80yGlMKLP8

Yeah, Spielman’s not having it and he’s willing to back his former teammate. It’s more than likely that Lindsey feels the same about the article.
Here’s Lindsey’s response to Spielman:

Yep, he’s not in favor of it either.
