Recruit watch: Husker recruit Nance dazzles in season debut

The Nebraska recruit showcased his athletic versatility in Blanchard's 50-13 season-opening win against Elgin on Friday.

Nebraska quarterback commit Luke McCaffrey (Highlands Ranch, Colorado) nearly had a perfect night throwing the ball. He completed 12-of-13 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Valor Christian's 30-6 win against Ponderosa.

Nebraska running back commit Rahmir Johnson (Oradell, New Jersey) rushed 28 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Bergan Catholic's 34-22 win against Grayson (Georgia).
