Two Nebraska football recruits, running back Collins Okafor and defensive end Josh Williams, have confirmed their commitments to the Cornhusker football program for 2008 according to Husker Extra.
Okafor had gained a lot of attention in Omaha regarding his status as a Husker. Many speculated that the Omaha Westside standout would jump ship to Stanford or Iowa earlier in the week. Okafor, along with 10 other Nebraska recruits visited the Nebraska campus and football facilities this weekend. Okafor must have been impressed with new Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini's approach to coaching.
The other interesting high profile Husker recruit to re-confirm was defensive end Josh Williams from Texas. Williams de-committed during the season, leaving for Colorado. He took a trip to Nebraska this weekend on his own time and money. He must have been very interested in meeting with Pelini!
This is good for Nebraska recruiting, Pelini is showing the Husker faithful that he has the ability to pick up high profile recruits from all around the country. I originally thought that he could only pull recruits for defense, but Okafor proved me wrong there.
