Nebraska has added another commitment, bringing aboard a cornerback with a name that will ring familiar to many football fans.
Lardarius Webb Jr., who is set to play his senior season in Jackson, Mississippi, announced his pledge to Nebraska on Tuesday night. He is the son of the former Baltimore Ravens defensive back who shares the same name.
The Huskers were the first and only FBS school to offer Webb so far, extending an opportunity to the 5-10, 170-pound prospect in late June. Webb gives the Huskers 12 known commits in the 2021 recruiting class, with his announcement coming just days after the July 4 commitment of wide receiver Latrell Neville.
