Published:
Nebraska has added another recruit to its big 2021 class.
Defensive end Ru’Quan Buckley has officially committed to the Cornhuskers and they beat out schools such as Michigan State, Minnesota, Cincinnati, etc.
DE Ru'Quan Buckley announces for Nebraska. Family vibe, relationship with the staff, particularly Tony Tuioti, and more led him to Lincoln.
