| Stanton
was offered after
spending one day at NU's quarterback camp in June.
He made a second trip to Lincoln in late June before
committing to Nebraska in early July. Stanton is a true dual
threat quarterback that should fit in nicely into offensive coordinator
Tim Beck's system. Not only does he have the physical tools
to be successful at Nebraska but he is a natural leader on and off of
the field and posseses the intangible qualities of a winner.
In only one year as the starting quarterback at his school,
Stanton has already put together a solid resume, including winning a
state championship last season and being named an Elite 11 quarterback
this summer. He is heading into his senior season as the
leader his No. 1 nationally ranked Santa Margarita Catholic Eagles
squad and looking to repeat as a state champion before making his way
to Lincoln. |

href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/video/recruiting-football/Rivals-Spotlight-Adam-Taylor-1110119"> | Taylor
is a talented running back
from a powerhouse program who burst on to the scene after a great
sophomore season. He missed his junior season due to an ACL
tear
in his first game but as battled back strong. He's rushed for
over 2,000 yards and 32 touchdowns on his quest for a state
championship this season. At one time it appeared that Taylor
was
bound for LSU but things did not work out. Nebraska stuck
with
Taylor and landed the classic Big Ten/SEC style running back shortly
after his visit for the Penn State game. Taylor fits the mold
for
Nebraska on and off of the field. He's a focused individual
that
cares more about the bigger picture of helping his team succeed than
his own personal fanfare. A great addition to this recruiting
class, he leaves the door open for Nebraska to potentially add another
speed back to complement his style. |

is
one of the only wide receivers to have a Nebraska offer that has
visited Lincoln. Getting him on campus the week of the spring game went
a long way in finally securing his commitment in early June. Gladney is
a very well rounded receiver that will fit into Nebraska's
offense nicely. He has great hands, runs great routes, and has above
average speed that will help him make the transition to the next level.
The most impressive thing about Gladney may be his overall leaping
ability and body control. He has ball skills that you can't
teach. Gladney is a solid pick-up for Nebraska not only because
he's a good player at a position of need but also because
Nebraska beat out several other conference foes to land him.
Maintaining, and building upon a connection in Ohio is critical for
Nebraska as well and they were able to do that with Gladney. |

liked what they saw from Hart this spring and immediately became a
contender when they offered. Hart was set on making a decision before
the end of his junior year even though he was picking up more and more
offers as spring went along. This ultimately played in
Nebraska's
favor as he picked the Huskers in mid-May after taking unofficial
visits to Northwestern and Nebraska. A tight end that can stretch the
field like Kyler Reed is what Nebraska feels they will have in Hart. He
has the size, hands, and speed to create mismatches on the field.
Nebraska also strengthened their connection in Ohio as Hart became the
third Ohio native to commit to the Huskers at the time and the fourth
overall now that Kevin Gladney is a part of this class. |

of their top overall offensive line targets in this class. It
is also important to recognize not only the recruiting victory but the
continuation of players that NU has landed from the Kansas City metro
area, specifically Rockhurst High School. While he plays
right tackle in high school, Hannon has been told that he will probably
start out at the guard position once he gets to Lincoln. He
will be able to utilize his athleticism and pulling ability as a guard
in Nebraska's offense. |

as Samuelson had committed to Pittsburgh. Wanting to make sure he had
made the right choice, Samuelson made a low key visit to Nebraska and
quickly fell for the Huskers. Subsequently, Samuelson de-committed from
Pitt and secured a spot in Nebraska's class. His change of
heart
for Nebraska was cemented after a successful visit for the Big Red
Weekend. Samuelson is a big, athletic lineman that has the versatility
to play multiple positions across the line. It's likely that
he
will be an interior lineman for Nebraska the future though.

was
in the market for a long snapper this recruiting cycle with no
sure-fire candidate to replace long snapper P.J. Mangieri. In order to
find the best available snapper in the country the Husker coaching
staff reached out to long snapping guru Chris Rubio for a referral.
Rubio steered NU to one of his prized pupils in Gabe Miller. Miller was
a surprise visitor for the Big Red Weekend where he worked out for
Nebraska and earned a scholarship. Committing to Nebraska before he
left campus, Miller became the likely snapper for NU from the minute he
steps on campus. Rubio describes Miller as a tireless worker who is
dedicated to perfecting his craft. There has got to be some relief
knowing that a crucial, yet underrated, position on the field is taken
care of for the foreseeable future.
