Originally posted for Corn Nation. In-state linebacker Christian Jones has signed with Nebraska on this early signing day. This was a real dog fight to get the number 1 player in Nebraska to commit to the Huskers as big-time programs like Auburn and Oklahoma pursued him. The Omaha native has all of the intangibles of…

Originally posted for Corn Nation. When you list Alabama as a school of interest for an offensive lineman, it is a great sign, and this young man looks to be a very talented prospect. At 6-6 (290 lbs), he has a large frame that needs some retooling rather than an overhaul to get him to…

Originally posted for Corn Nation. Kade Pietrzak is a rugged defender from North Dakota who had some interest from top schools like Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Kansas State. Getting local linemen is a recipe that has worked for many midwestern programs as the small-town, burly men from smaller schools and states have much to prove on…

Originally posted for Corn Nation. Two sports athlete Conor Booth has signed up for Nebraska, with baseball as part of his college plans. He has put some impressive numbers coming out of Wahoo, Nebraska, and remarkable speed for a 6-1 (212 lbs) athlete. As an in-state kid from a small town in Nebraska, it would…

Originally posted for Corn Nation. Nobody feels the passion of the Memorial Stadium crowd more than someone who grew up in the state and lived just down the drag in Omaha. Mooberry is the type of player you can build a team around at the linebacker position, where you need to be tough as nails…

Originally posted for Corn Nation. Malcolm Simpson has signed his NLI with Nebraska and will be looking to bolster the defensive line that will be without Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher. Simpson is a coveted player out of Texas, highlighting Matt Rhule’s pull in one of the most competitive states to land top-end talent. Simpson…

Originally posted on Corn Nation. In-state Jackson Carpenter has seen enough from Matt Rhule’s second season to stay committed to the Huskers. Carpenter has electric speed and comes from Lincoln, so he will have seen the athletes Rhule loves to recruit up close and personally. He may not be a recruit on a national level…
