Owen Pappoe had sent signals, once upon a time, that he might be leaning towards the Nebraska football program. Late last week the talented linebacker announced his commitment to Auburn instead.
Pappoe is the eighth best player in the entire 2019 class according to 247 Sports. He’s also the top outside linebacker and the second best player in the state of Georgia.
Having said all of that, perhaps it’s a bit of a win that the uber-talented player didn’t commit to either Georgia or Alabama. Still it’s a little disappointing that the Cornhuskers were quite as “in” it as it might have looked.
