Chamberlain (SD) High four-star defensive tackle Nash Hutmacher has announced his commitment to Nebraska. He also strongly considered Oregon and Wisconsin.
"The people and the coaching staff were exactly what I was looking for," Hutmacher told 247Sports on Saturday. "Just the mindset they have, Frost is a winner and he is changing the whole culture down there!"
The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Hutmacher is ranked by 247Sports as the nations' No. 27 defensive tackle. He was the top player on the board at the position for Frost and his staff.
Hutmacher is commit No. 6 for Nebraska in the class of 2020.
Hutmacher is a difference-maker on both sides of the ball for Chamberlain High where he is also a three-sport standout. Ranked as the nation’s No. 3 heavyweight wrestler by InterMat, and certainly one of the strongest prospects in this 2020 class, the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Hutmacher maxes out at 420 pounds on the bench, 610 on squat and 600 on dead lift.
In addition to an undefeated wrestling season where he literally pinned every opponent the entire campaign en route to a third-straight state championship (he’s also a national champion), he flexed his muscles on the track with a 54-foot plus shot put throw. Scroll through his power lifting videos on Twitter and you’ll see him ripping sets of 10 at 425 on the squat, sets of five at 470 on the deadlift, sets of five at 225 pounds on standing shoulder press and 34-inch box jumps with 100-pounds in his hands.
Hutmacher is explosive, obviously powerful, has good balance and certainly understands leverage.
"We love his profile, love his competitiveness we love his body type, it's just about determining his upside is going to take more exposure to him as a football player and not just a strength athlete," 247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons said. "But he's the type of guy Nebraska is trying to build the program around."
