Great news from the land of Italian beef & deep-dish pizza!
The Huskers landed the commitment of 3* offensive lineman Valen Erickson Friday evening. Valen stands 6'6 & weighs in at 305 pounds, and he plays his prep ball for St. Rita High in Chicago.
In Valen's film, there is a lot to like about the young man. He possesses good footwork, impressive strength, solid fundamentals & an aggressive tenacity while playing the game. Similar to former Husker & current Dallas Cowboy Matt Farniok, Valen can play all 5 positions on the offensive line but his best position may be guard, which is where he'll be slotted once he arrives on campus.
