Head coach Bo Pelini was happy with the recruits that Nebraska is bringing in for the 2012 season, including a strong walk-on class.  Now it’s time to look at the players and the positional break out to see how this class with help Husker football.

I talked with Sean Callahan of Huskeronline.com, who also helps me out during the football season on our Big Red Reports that air on our radio network.

Sean breaks down the recruiting class, which his website rated as the third best class in the Big Ten. We discuss the need for linebackers, how the offensive line will progress without the big signing of Andrus Peat and his player to watch from this class.

AUDIO Nebraska recruiting recap (10:30)

6’7, 305-pound offensive tackle Andrus Peat chose Stanford over Nebraska and USC.  Peat was ranked 32nd nationally overall and had 20 scholarship offers although many experts expected his choice to come down between Stanford and NU.  The Trojans were making a late run at Peat.  He is a good athlete for his size and is noted for his ability to get out past the line and block linebackers on the run.

Husker head coach Bo Pelini will address the media at 2:30 p.m. central time.

According to Scout.com, Devian Shelton signed his letter of intent to the USC Trojans Wednesday. Shelton, a 6-2, 180-pound defensive back out of Inglewood, Calif., was just recently offered by USC.  Shelton decommitted from Oregon State and has also received offers from Tennessee and Washington, as well as Nebraska where he took official visits.
