Nebraska football: 3 things the Jamie Nance commit means for the Huskers
Jamie Nance picked the Nebraska football team over some big-time competition.
The Nebraska football team got its 11th commit of the 2019 class already. That’s quite the haul considering it’s only June.
There was a time, mostly pre-Mike Riley where it seemed like all the commits weren’t coming until later in the summer and into the fall. If there is one thing Riley did right, it’s attempting to lock down as many commits as possible earlier.
Scott Frost and company are following suit. This is the first spring they’ve been the head coaches of the Cornhuskers.

Not only are they pulling plenty of talent in, but they are beating out some of the bigger teams in the country to do it. Nance had been getting the full court press from Notre Dame, TCU and other schools.
He had actually visited Notre Dame right after his unofficial visit to Lincoln. There were more than a few people who thought he was going to join the Fighting Irish.
Baylor and TCU had to be pretty big pulls as well considering where he lives. Nance has 12 total offers so far.
For whatever reason Oklahoma and Oklahoma State haven’t offered the athlete. That doesn’t mean the Nebraska football team didn’t beat off some great competition for Jamie Nance.

He also doesn’t seem to be someone who is going to be going back on his pledge anytime soon. He talked about how he wanted to be “on the boat” as Scott Frost carried the program to a National Title. Here’s hoping he’s right.
