The Nebraska football team added one to their 2019 recruiting class. Jamin Graham announced he had decided to play for the Huskers when he took a visit to the school this weekend. While this might not be a name Cornhuskers fans have heard much about before this weekend, it's clear he comes at a position of need for Scott Frost and the rest of the staff.
He's got versatility
Graham played outside linebacker in high school and he could certainly do the same for the Nebraska football team. It's also possible he could grow more into an already solid frame and player defensive line. The prospect has said he would be good with either one.
He picked the school because he believes he'll be pushed
It's refreshing to hear a player cite how much he thinks he's going to be pushed when talking about where he wants to play. The coaching staff has certainly wanted that to be the standard in Lincoln. It looks like the message is getting out.
Jamin Graham will start as an OLB and enroll in the summer. Why did he pick the #Huskers? "Just knowing that every day I'm going to be pushed to be the best football player I can be and the best person I can be." https://t.co/grTvMA1FWq

He's known as a speed rusher
Graham has long known that he has one big talent that stands out for the Huskers. "“My speed is my strength, because most guys when they pass rush, they’re not as fast as me," he told 247Sports.

He was swiped out from under the southern schools
It shouldn't come as a real surprise that a recruit from Alabama had a ton of southern schools on him. While Auburn and Alabama hadn't offered yet, he did have offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State and South Carolina in the SEC. In total he has 13 offers.

Huskers moved fast on this one
Graham said he got an in-home visit from Scott Frost last week. He visited Lincoln this weekend. Now he's planning on signing his LOI on December 19. He'll arrive here in the summer.
