One of the top quarterback recruits in the country, Cody Green of Dayton, Texas, announced Wednesday that he has verbally committed to play football for the Huskers.
Of course, verbal commitments are nothing until letter-of-intent signing day in early February. However, coach Bo Pelini seems to have landed a young man that is being touted by many recruiting experts as one of the best quarterbacks in the Class of 2009.
Green is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior-to-be, and is being chased by a number of schools, including Texas A&M, LSU, Baylor, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Miami. He put up some impressive numbers as a sophomore, passing for 1,429 yards and 19 touchdowns while completing over 60 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 689 yards on 95 carries and four touchdowns. Last year, he missed most of the season due to torn ligaments in his ankle.
His high school coach says he's about 85 percent healthy, and when at full strength he has 4.57-second speed in the 40-yard dash. Green is a student of the game who spends a lot of time watching game film, and his high school coach calls him a "high-character kid" who will be a class act.
Green is the sixth verbal commitment coach Bo Pelini has received from the Class of 2009. Other verbal commitments have come from Shawn Bodtmann of Scranton, Pa.; Thaddeus Randle of Galena Park, Texas; Dontrayevous Robinson of Euless, Texas; and Nebraska standouts Cole Pensick of Lincoln Northeast and C.J. Zimmerer of Omaha Gross.
