The Nebraska Cornhuskers signed 21 high school seniors to scholarship offers on Wednesday, the first day of the college football signing period. They also welcomed Larry Henderson, a junior college transfer from California. Henderson is already enrolled at the University and his scholarship will not count towards this years limit.
Among the list of new recruits are seven in-state players.
The Huskers recruiting efforts this season have been ranked as one of the Top 20 classes in the nation according to Allan Wallace of SuperPrep, a leading recruiting publication.
Among the list of Husker recruits are 8 Prep All-Americans. SuperPrep gave All-American honors to Rob Blomeier, Shaun Coleman, Carl Crawford, Josh Davis, John Garrison, Patrick Kabongo, Robin Miller and Judd Davies.
