Fans with Nebraska football tickets should be very excited with the Nebraska recruiting class that is starting to develop for 2012.
Earlier this week, the Lincoln Journal-Star reported that Ohio defensive end standout Greg McMullen was choosing Nebraska over several big-name institutions, including his home-state teams at Ohio State and Cincinnati, fellow Big Ten schools Michigan State, Purdue and Northwestern, and traditional recruiting power Notre Dame.
McMullen is a 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end from Akron, playing for Archbishop Hoban High School. He is noted as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and is among the top 100 prospects in the nation for the Class of 2012.
During his junior year, McMullen recorded 55 tackles and 8 1/2 quarterback sacks. He has good size and is being touted as a potential standout at defensive tackle.
The Journal-Star reported that Nebraska will not have a big recruiting class from a numbers perspective, as they will have to stay within the limits of the required number of scholarship players on a roster. The newspaper said McMullen would be among a potential group of up to 15 players Nebraska will sign when signing day comes the first Wednesday in February of 2012.
As it stands now, Nebraska has four verbal commitments with McMullen's announcement. He joins Jordan Westerkamp, a wide receiver from Illinois; Michael Rose, a linebacker from Missouri; and Ben Cotton, a tight end from Lincoln and the son of Nebraska assistant coach and former Husker standout Barney Cotton.
You can see these future Husker recruits, as well as the current players on the 2011 Huskers football team, with great tickets from Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.
