College career[edit]
UCF[edit]
At UCF, he served as the team's backup quarterback, appearing in 8 games. He finished the season 22/29 for 276 yards, 1 passing touchdown, as well as 77 yards and two touchdowns. At the end of the season, Vedral announced he would transfer to Nebraska.[3]
Nebraska[edit]
2018[edit]
After initially sitting out the 2018 season due to transfer rules, Vedral was granted a waiver giving him immediate eligibility.[4] He only played in one game in 2018, during garbage time in a game against Bethune–Cookman. He was also able to redshirt under the NCAA's new redshirt policy where a player can play in four games before redshirting.
2019[edit]
Vedral played in six games in 2019, starting in two of those games. In their game against Northwestern, Vedral entered the game in the fourth quarter after Adrian Martinez left the game due to injury. Vedral threw for 41 yards and rushed for another 33, leading Nebraska to help set up the game winning field goal by Lane McCallum.[5]
Vedral received his first career start against Minnesota, throwing for 135 yards, one touchdown and rushing for another 49 before leaving the game due to injury.[6] He started the following week against Indiana, throwing for a then-career high 201 yards, while also compiling 21 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, as well as a 22-yard reception, before suffering another injury and not returning.[7]
Vedral also was a temporary member of the men's basketball team at Nebraska during their run in the 2020 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament, serving as an emergency back-up due to depth issues.[8]
Vedral announced that he would enter his name in the transfer portal in April 2020, ending his time at Nebraska.[9]
Rutgers[edit]
Vedral announced about a month after entering his name in the transfer portal that he would transfer to Rutgers as a graduate transfer, granting him immediate eligibility.[10] He was officially named the team's starting quarterback on October 24 before the team's matchup against Michigan State.[11]
2020[edit]
In his first start against Michigan State, Vedral threw for 169 yards and one touchdown and also rushed for another in a 38–27 victory, the first Big Ten conference win for Rutgers since 2017.[12]
Vedral struggled in the game against Illinois, throwing three interceptions in the second half, including one that set up the game-winning field goal for Illinois.[13] The next week at Michigan, Vedral bounced back, completing 29 of his 43 passes for 381 yards and three touchdowns, as well as the game-tying 2 point conversion near the end of regulation.[14] However, he also threw the game-ending interception in the third overtime that clinched the victory for Michigan.
