On Wednesday, highly recruited Texas quarterback Cody Green verbally committed to Nebraska. He’ll be a member of the 2009 class.
“Coach Watson and Coach Ek, there’s not enough words I can say about those two guys, especially Coach Watson,” the four-star gunslinger said. “He helped me out a lot. I’ll be 17 when I get (to Nebraska) and I need a parent figure more than a coach going into college. I’m really, really comfortable with Coach Watson up there.”
Green chose Nebraska over a handful of other schools: Baylor, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and several east coast schools including Miami and Boston College.
Rivals had Green ranked as the #10 “dual threat” quarterback in the nation. Last season he threw for 1,429 yards with 19 touchdowns and had 95 carries for 689 yards and four touchdowns.
