The top ranked prospect in the state of Nebraska for the class of 2016 may not end up in Lincoln afterall. 2016 tight end Jared Bubak of Lincoln Christian had originally committed to the Huskers under Bo Pelini’s staff and has decided to reopen his recruitment.
Although Bubak could still ultimately sign with Nebraska, the leading candidate to land the 6-4, 240 pound tight end appears to be Arizona State.
Another day, another commitment for the Huskers 2016 class. Add 2016 linebacker from Pine Creek High School in Colorado Springs (Colo.) JoJo Domann to the list of Husker verbal commits. Domann was named the MVP of the St. Louis Rivals Camp Series earlier this year. The 6-1, 210 pound backer was also named the defensive player of the year for the state of Colorado following his junior season in which he had 61 total tackles, including seven for a loss, and seven interceptions. He also had 49 receptions for 797 yards and 10 touchdowns on offense. He isn’t yet ranked in the ESPN database but is listed as a 3-star prospect by Rivals and the #2 prospect in the state of Colorado.
It’s official, committed to Nebraska. 🌽🔴🏈 excited to play for the best fans in the nation‼️ #GBR pic.twitter.com/Vj3VaLNx81

Class of 2016 linebacker Greg Simmons originally committed to the Miami Hurricanes, but on Thursday the 6-2, 225 pounds 3-star recruit switched his allegiance to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Simmons currently holds offers from Miami, N.C. State, Louisville, Kentucky and Maryland among others.
As a junior in 2014 at Central High School in Fort Pierce, Florida he recorded 64 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and five sacks. Simmons is ranked as the 13th best Inside Linebacker by ESPN for the class of 2016.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska reserve quarterback Johnny Stanton is transferring.
Coach Mike Riley said Stanton told him about his decision Thursday.
Stanton took limited snaps in two games as a redshirt freshman last season and was among five scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.
Recruiting services ranked Stanton among the top 15 dual-threat quarterbacks when he was coming out of Rancho Santa Margarita, California, in 2013.
Riley also announced that redshirt freshman receiver Glenn Irons would not be on the team this fall.
Lincoln, Neb. – Nebraska track and field senior John Welk added one more prestigious award to his impressive resume on Thursday, winning CoSIDA’s Capital One Academic All-American of the Year award for men’s track and field.
Levi Gipson and Drew Wiseman were also honored as CoSIDA first-team Academic All-Americans, giving the Huskers three of the 15 first-team selections. It’s the first time any Husker team other than football has had three first-team Academic All-Americans in a year. The Nebraska men and women now have a total of 55 CoSIDA Academic-All America selections all-time, including a nation-leading 41 since 2002. It also marks the sixth consecutive year the Husker men and women have combined for at least three Academic All-Americans.
Mike Riley’s staff has landed another commitment to it’s 2016 recruiting class, this one coming from Aurora, Colorado tight end Jack Stoll.
Stoll, 6-5, 225-pounds, chose to verbally commit to Nebraska over looks from Texas, Colorado & Colorado State among others.
As a junior at Regis Jesuit High School, Stoll caught 19 passes for 176 yards and four touchdowns. He’s currently ranked as the #3 overall prospect in the state of Colorado.
