Nebraska football gets surprise commit from Michael Lynn

The Nebraska football team got yet another commit for the 2019 class in the form of a talented offensive tackle. The commit is the 15th of the 2019 class.

The Nebraska football team has been on one heck of a run this summer. The Huskers nabbed their 15th commit in the 2019 class from offensive tackle Michael Lynn.

Lynn’s commit seemingly comes out of nowhere. While 247Sports had him as a heavy Cornhusker lean, there hadn’t been much noise coming from the prospect recently.

Ranked as a 3-star offensive tackle out of Englewood, Colorado, Lynn has 13 total offers. Quite a few of those offers come from Power 5 programs, as well as from his home state’s Pac 12 conference.

Lynn is considered the 5th best player in Colorado and the 71st best offensive tackle in the 2019 class. While that 71st ranking might not be the most impressive to come along, it’s important to note the Huskers appear to be building a pipeline through a state that has produced some very good Husker players over the years.

Lynn announced his commitment on Sunday night on his Twitter account. Husker coaches were quick to celebrate.

Not only is Lynn the 15th commit in this class, but it’s the 10th player Scott Frost and company have landed since June 1. That is the most remarkable part of the job the coaching staff has done on the recruiting front this summer.

There was concern entering June at the lack of commitments. There was plenty of interest from various recruits, but the flow of new players had almost completely dried up between April and June.

Talk of not allowing any official visits until the fall had some worried if the new staff understood the difficulty of luring players to Lincoln so late in the game. It’s turned out the Nebraska football coaching staff didn’t need official visits to lock in a commitment. Michael Lynn also helps shore up a real position of need for the future of the program.
