1 – Area recruiting scene starting to take form
Nebraska has made five in-state offers for the Class of 2022, two for the class of 2023 and one for the class of 2024.
I would expect that number for both 2022 and 2023 to grow here very soon.
The challenge continues to be the lack of in-person evaluations, as many of these kids you’d like to see and workout in person, but that’s just not a reality at this point. Even getting an accurate height and weight measurement would be nice on a lot of these players.
The other thing about the class of 2022 is it appears the Huskers are on the outside looking in with the state’s three top prospects in Omaha Central offensive lineman Deshawn Woods, Omaha Burke linebacker Devon Jackson and Bellevue West tight end Micah Riley-Ducker.
The first letter of intent arrived shortly after 6 a.m. Four hours later, Nebraska inked and secured everyone it planned to from New Jersey to California in a drama-free signing day as concise as any in its history.
One by one, the 19-man Class of 2021 became official in what the 247Sports composite considers the 23rd-best group in the country. Forged mostly during a pandemic, the haul of talent includes a few players who coach Scott Frost has yet to be in the same room with. But most had been committed for months, with at least a dozen set to enroll early and be on campus by January.
