Nebraska gets star Maryland recruit Jason Ankrah

The Cornhuskers recruiting fortunes have taken a dramatic turn for the better in the past couple of days and that’s continued with the signing of Jason Ankrah, a 6′4 250 DE from Maryland (when was the last time the Huskers had a player from Maryland?).

He is rated a 4-star DE and 26th overall DE in the Scout ratings.

He choose the Huskers over Maryland, Michigan, and Penn State.

No confirmation to the rumor of Dan Hawkins crapping his pants in Boulder tonight.

Bo Pelini may have just gotten his biggest recruiting score yet.

Exit Question to Husker Nation:

Does this raise the stakes for the Gator Bowl? If the Huskers come out and lay an egg, will these solid verbals look around or does Bo have them truly sold on the Husker program?
