LINCOLN, Neb.—Backup safety Major Culbert is no longer on the Nebraska football team.
Coach Bo Pelini confirmed Culbert’s departure Tuesday through an athletic department spokesman. Pelini did not give a reason.
Culbert backed up Larry Asante as a junior last season. Culbert played in seven games in 2008 and made 10 tackles.
The Harbor City, Calif., native ran for nearly 2,000 yards as a high school senior, but former coach Bill Callahan moved him to safety.
Culbert worked at linebacker and running back in 2007 before moving to safety full-time last season.
