Huskers strike twice at LB with pledges from four-star Keyshawn Greene and juco OLB Niko Cooper

National Signing Day is coming up fast and, wouldn't you know it, Nebraska's 2020 recruiting class is growing rapidly, too.

The Huskers pulled a double on Sunday, landing a pair of linebackers to fortify a defensive group that continues to come together.

First, four-star high school linebacker Keyshawn Greene, a speedy, athletic prospect from Florida, gave his verbal commitment late in the morning.

Then Sunday night the Huskers landed junior college outside linebacker Niko Cooper, a Memphis, Tennessee, native who spent the past two seasons at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder from Crawfordville, Florida, was a longtime Florida State pledge who decommitted from the Seminoles last week before Mike Norvell was hired as coach.
