This weekend is shaping up to be a big one for Nebraska recruiting, and we’re off to a whiz-bang of a start, picking up a commitment out of St. Paul, Minnesota.

David Alston (247 Profile) is projected to play outside linebacker or weak-side defensive linemen in college. His lead recruiter was Trent Bray, so we can probably expect he’ll play linebacker for Nebraska.
Here’s his Hudl tape:
A nice pick up for Nebraska amidst all of the uncertainty and hopefully the start of some recruiting momentum.
With this pick up, Nebraska has 11 commits and moves to #6 in the Big Ten, #31 nationally.
As far as this weekend goes, here is a list of known visitors (click their names for their 247 profile):
Commits:
- Joshua Moore, 4*, WR [Yoakum, TX]
- Cameron Brown, 4*, WR [St. Louis, MO]
- Cameron Jurgen, 4*, TE [Beatrice, NE]
- Will Farniok, 3*, C [Sioux Falls, SD]

- Brendan “Bookie” Radley-Hiles, 4*, CB [Bradenton, FL/IMG]
- Chase Williams, 4*, CB [Corona, CA]

Non-commits:
- T. J. Pledger, 4*, RB {Commited to Oklahoma} [Bradenton, FL/IMG]

A win on Saturday would certainly help get the momentum going, in more ways than one.
Congratulations to David Alston on picking Nebraska! Go Big Red!
