Nebraska Football Recruiting: Huskers Add Two

Bo Pelini brought in some top talents to Nebraska, but it was still only good enough for third-best in the Big Ten in the eyes of most scouts.

Nebraska hasn’t exactly been lighting up the recruiting trail of late. It’s not that the ‘Huskers commitments are untalented. Just the opposite, in fact, as four of Nebraska’s commitments are rated four stars or better. Granted, that’s not enough talent to contend for the Big Ten crown with Michigan and Ohio State tearing it up, but it’s enough to hold one’s own in the conference.

The problem is numbers. As in, Nebraska needs more players than it is currently bringing in. But they do have a chance to close strong and make this class a success.

It’s unclear what position Fuller will play in college. As a quarterback, he’s not bad. Obviously mobile, the 6’1” 190 pound Fuller has a quick release and would be fit for the spread-option offense. If UCLA insists on running a strict pro-style system, look for Fuller to play defensive back. Despite being hampered by a hamstring injury, Fuller shows tremendous quickness and explosiveness. And he’s a heady player, meaning a switch to defensive back wouldn’t be any trouble for the talented New Jersey athlete.

If he plays safety, you should also expect him to get some reps on special teams in the return game. He’s certainly skilled at making tacklers miss.
