Nebraska signs a stable and little more of a regional 2021 recruiting class kearneyhub.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from kearneyhub.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
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.
So, that will be a situation worth following over the next several weeks.
Nebraska took care of business in efficient manner on Wednesday morning.
The fax machine had an early morning. Malik Williams (Buford, Georgia) became the first 2021 Husker commit to deliver his National Letter of Intent shortly after 6 a.m. local time.
The East Coast recruits didn’t take long to follow, either. Williams’ teammate at Buford High, running back Gabe Ervin, as well as wide receiver Shawn Hardy (Kingsland, Georgia), defensive lineman Ru’Quan Buckley (Grand Rapids, Michigan) and linebacker Mikai Gbayor (Irvington, New Jersey) were in bright and early, too.
