Greg McMullen, from Archbishop Hoban in Ohio, will sign a letter of intent tomorrow to join the University of Nebraska. He was sought after by former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, but after attending a summer camp here in Lincoln and with the changes going on in Columbus, OH, the four star recruit defensive end changed his mind in favor of the Huskers.

Former Husker Zac Taylor who was the 2006 Big 12 player of the year as a quarterback at Nebraska, where he passed for over 2700 yards and led the Cornhuskers to a 9-3 record and an appearance in the Big 12 Championship Game, was hired by the Miami Dolphins as an assistant quarterback’s coach.
ESPN is airing a special tonight called Face to Face. Hannah Storm interviews former Husker Ndamukong Suh. During the interview, Suh responds to claims from his former NU teammate Matt Slauson, now with the Jets, who says Suh intentionally tried to hurt players.
Wednesday is national signing and for now it looks like the Nebraska football team will hold at 14 commits for the 2012 season after Devin Fuller a 6’1 190 pound athlete chose UCLA over Nebraska.
Scout.com has him listed as the third best QB nationally and with NU already having quarterback Tommy Armstrong for this class, it appears to make sense that Fuller went somewhere else. He’s good enough that he could play several different positions, and NU may not have had him targeted as a QB.
Running back Imani Cross has committed to Nebraska, according to Rivals.com. Cross is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound running back who narrowed his choices between NU and Kentucky.
The native of Gainesville, GA gives Nebraska 14. Cross made his decision after Bo Pelini and Tim Beck visited his home as well as Kentucky coaches on Thursday. Cross averaged close to nine yard a carry last season, rushing for more than 1,700 yards and 24 touchdowns.
A New York Times story reports that Yale quarterback Patrick Witt may not have actually passed up an interview for the Rhodes Scholarship to play in a football game against Harvard. The story claims Witt was no longer a candidate after a fellow student accused him of sexual assault just days earlier.
Witt’s accuser never went to police or filed a complaint at Yale. The Rhodes Trust notified Witt and Yale that his application was suspended after they learned of the alleged assault through unofficial sources.
