Ryan Held has a running back for 2021.
Three-star Buford, Georgia, native Gabe Ervin verbally committed to the Huskers on Tuesday, picking NU over schools such as Georgia, Michigan State, Duke, Arizona State and others.
Ervin is the first running back in the Huskers' 2021 class and joins a steadily growing stable of offensive skill players that now includes quarterback Heinrich Haarberg (Kearney) and a fellow Georgia native in 6-foot-3 wide receiver Shawn Hardy II (Kingsland, Georgia).
"What separated Nebraska from all other schools is how I feel at Nebraska," Ervin said while announcing his commitment on a live social media video with Rivals.
