Huskers QB recruitment shows Riley more versatile than reputation suggests

When most people think of Nebraska head coach Mike Riley and the type of quarterback that fits his offensive system, most believe it’s the classic drop-back passer and that guy only. However, Riley is quickly putting that reputation — deserved or not — to rest.

On Thursday the Huskers added a second commitment at the position, pulling in a verbal pledge from three-star quarterback Patrick O’Brien.

He joins three-star Terry Wilson, who committed to the Huskers earlier this month.
