LINCOLN — Nebraska has 11 offers out to quarterbacks in the 2019 class.
Some of those include pro-style quarterbacks Mike Riley’s staff offered. But that doesn’t include prospects labeled as "athletes" by recruiting services that Nebraska is pursuing as quarterbacks — like four-star Luke McCaffrey and three-star Peyton Powell.
Powell received an offer from Nebraska and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco on Wednesday night. He’s from Odessa, Texas, and attends Permian High School, famous for its portrayal in the “Friday Night Lights” book and movie.
Powell is the No. 41 athlete in the 2019 class and has 19 offers.
