Nebraska got in early on Nelson. He earned offers from South Dakota and South Dakota State before going to the Huskers camp and Nebraska didn’t delay after seeing him in person.
Nelson is currently the only commit in the 2019 class. Dallas, Texas, wide receiver Marquez Beason verbally committed to the Huskers in April, but decommitted a month later.
