5 things to know about Nebraska football's newest commit Myles Farmer

Since Scott Frost and company arrived in Lincoln, they've been trying to establish a pipeline to Georgia. The Peach state is rich and talented and most of the staff is familiar with the area from their time at UCF. Farmer is from Atlanta and plays for Westlake High.

While the Nebraska football coaches are likely celebrating this get, he's not a blue-chip prospect. Farmer is the 73rd ranked safety in the 2019 class and the 90th ranked player in Georgia. That doesn't mean he's not going to be a fit for the Huskers, it's just not a huge surprise that his commitment came out of nowhere.

Myles Farmer was indeed on an official visit to Lincoln this weekend. He certainly liked what the Huskers have to offer. It seems that when there is a commitment during a big recruiting weekend, there is always more than one. These players are talking to each other and maybe subconsciously selling the program to each other. It wouldn't be a huge surprise to see another commit coming in the next few days.

While Farmer is projected as a safety in the college ranks he has definitely been a threat from both sides of the ball for Westlake High. In addition to defensive back, he put up decent numbers as a wide receiver. Considering how thin the receiver corps might be next year, there's a very outside chance we could see a position switch before it's all said and done.

While Farmer wasn't the most highly rated prospect, he had plenty of attention from FBS schools. In total he had 19 offers. Minnesota, Oregon, Louisville and West Virginia were the other high profile Power 5 schools in on the safety. Scott Frost and company also beat out their old school, UCF who appeared to be close to winning the player over.
