The day Scott Frost was introduced at Nebraska’s head football coach, he emphatically laid out his case for keeping the best high school talent in the state.
That’s Omaha Burke linebacker Nick Henrich, who delivered Frost, inside linebackers coach Barrett Ruud and the rest of the program a hard-earned win on the recruiting trail when he verbally committed to the program Saturday night.
Henrich is not only a big win because he’s a highly rated in-state prospect, but because the Huskers need help at linebacker. He and three-star Jackson Hannah (Nashville, Tennessee) are slated to join a position group that is set to enter 2019 with Mohamed Barry and Will Honas as seniors and Avery Roberts as a junior.
