Nebraska recruiting rankings holding steady after latest commit
Nebraska recruiting looks to be inside the Top 25 but likely won’t get too high in 2019 class.
For Nebraska recruiting watchers, it’s always interesting to look and see what kind of movement, if any has come in recent weeks. This is especially true when a new commit has just landed.
On Sunday night, offensive tackle Michael Lynn officially announced he wanted to be a Cornhusker. Rated as a 3-star recruit, it should come as no surprise the Huskers didn’t get a big bump from the addition to the class.
At the same time, the new commitment likely means we aren’t going to be seeing any slippage out of the Top 30 for a while. The 15th commit of the class has the Nebraska football team holding steady as a squad that is likely destined to finish just inside the Top 25, though the Top 20 or 15 is likely out of reach.
