Dynamic all-purpose back Wandale Robinson on Thursday afternoon verbally committed to Kentucky, choosing the Wildcats over Nebraska, Ohio State, Alabama and others.

It took a late charge from the local school, too. The Huskers came very close to landing the consensus four-star prospect. As recently as Wednesday afternoon, people within the Nebraska program and also outside observers considered NU the heavy favorite to land Robinson.

Instead, he announced to his Western Hills High peers in an afternoon announcement that he will stay in the Bluegrass state and play in Lexington, which is less than 30 miles from his hometown of Frankfort.
