Nebraska Football has made the cut.
Nebraska football is continuing to try and land impact players in the 2020 class, as a four-star center has put Nebraska in his list of top five teams. Reece Attenberry announced via Twitter Monday that the Huskers has made the cut teams and they certainly have good company.
In addition to Nebraska, Attenberry has narrowed down his list to Duke, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State. Once again, this would certainly be a case of Scott Frost and the program going up against more prestigious schools. However, they have shown they are not afraid to back down from a challenge. A win on the recruiting trail here would be another big get for the program as they have been on a roll on the recruiting trail lately.

Attenberry is ranked the No. 348 player in his class, the third overall center in his class, and the third overall player in the state of Colorado per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Hailing from Eaglecrest High School, Attenberry measures in at six-foot-five, 280 pounds. What could he bring to Nebraska Football? For one, he could provide help in the running game as his size allows him to open up holes for the running backs. As soon as the ball is snapped, he extends his hands out quickly and pushes the lineman back. His timing and speed with which he completes those moves should translate well to the collegiate game. Especially with some of the faster-paced offenses, everything needs to be in-sync.
With the type of running game Nebraska Football is slated to have in the future, Attenberry’s quickness off the snap could be something beneficial to them. Of course, we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. The other teams listed in his top five probably see the same type of skillset in him. He should be able to play well wherever he goes, and it would be ideal if he was pancaking defenders on Saturday’s in Lincoln.
At the very least, Nebraska Football has made Attenberry’s top five. This is a huge step for the program as they continue to try and make noise on the recruiting trail. They are not afraid to make moves to better the team and they are not afraid to try and go after top recruits. At the end of the day, Nebraska football is continuing to boost their profile nationally as a result of this. That can certainly be considered a good thing.
