Nebraska Football: The state of Florida should pay dividends for program
Nebraska Football recruited the state hard in this recruiting cycle.
It is safe to say that the Sunshine State will be big for Nebraska Football in the coming years. The Nebraska Football coaching staff made Florida a priority for the 2020 recruiting class. Their priorities have paid off. in total, Nebraska recruited seven commitments from the state of Florida. Not only did they recruit players from the state of Florida, they recruited impact players from state of Florida.
Linebacker Keyshawn Greene, defensive back Henry Gray, wide receiver Marcus Fleming, and defensive back Jaden François all have a four-star distinction. It is great to see that Nebraska Football was able to win the battles in the South. As a result, those four players should be a huge part of Nebraska’s future.

Out of those players, I think that Greene and François will have the most significant impact in Lincoln. Obviously, this is just my guess. It is too early to tell. If I had to make a guess, I would say that these four alone will make the recruiting efforts worth it. What it also means in my estimation is that Nebraska Football has planted their stake in the state of Florida.
As noted in a report by the Lincoln Journal-Star last week, Travis Fisher played a huge role in recruiting. He got Keyshawn Greene and Marcus Fleming to come to Lincoln . He also managed to get Francois to come as well. He has set things up nicely for the future of Nebraska in the state of Florida, and without his efforts, Early Signing Day would have probably looked a lot different. It is definitely worth noting his contributions.
The influx of Florida talent can only mean good things for Nebraska moving forward. I’m excited for what all the Florida recruits can bring to the table, and I hope it’s the start of something special over the next couple of years. It was one of the best storylines of Early Signing Day, and it helped add additional excitement to what was already a fantastic day for Nebraska Football. The program is doing its best to try to get back to prominence. If they can manage to get back to glory, much of the thanks should probably go to the state of Florida.
