As if it wasn't important enough before for the Nebraska football program to lock down the state and haul in the best talent on offer from local high schools, Tory Pittman was boosted to a 5-star prospect earlier this week.
Now one of the top prospects in the nation, Pittman is seen as a heavy lean to the Cornhuskers. Pittman earned his rating after two strong seasons at Omaha Central, becoming the No. 1 prospect in the state of Nebraska and the No. 2 safety in the nation, according to the score.
