Nebraska football picked up a big commitment from Texas, as Argyle (Texas) defensive lineman Riley Van Poppel committed to the Huskers.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Van Poppel officially visited Nebraska the weekend of June 10, and didn’t wait long to pull the trigger on a commitment.
Van Poppel holds offers from Michigan, Arizona State, Cal, Florida State, TCU and others. The son of former Major League Baseball pitcher Todd Van Poppel is rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports with an overall rating of 89, making him the No. 56 prospect in the state of Texas in the 2023 class.
Van Poppel officially visited Tennessee and also had a trip scheduled to Michigan when he committed to the Big Red.
Van Poppel is the eighth commitment in Nebraska’s 2023 recruiting class, and the second on the defensive side of the ball.
