'Program-changer' Washington the latest Signing Day win for Huskers

Upon being hired in December, Nebraska head coach Scott Frost and his coaching staff quickly set about the task of fortifying the Huskers’ skill positions.

There are many other areas of need on the roster, sure, and NU has landed Class of 2018 signees and transfers at many of them.

The work done in the offensive backfield, though, is another indication that Frost and company are set on getting their high-flying offense up to speed as quickly as possible.

The Huskers think they might just have closed their class with a game-breaker, too.

That’s running back Maurice Washington, who announced that he signed his national letter of intent with NU on Wednesday afternoon as part of ESPN’s National Signing Day coverage.
