OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The Nebraska Cornhuskers have just picked up one of their highest-rated recruits in modern program history.

The best part? He’s from right here in Omaha.

Five-Star Safety Tory Pittman III announced Friday that he intends to play for the Big Red.

The Omaha Central Junior is the state’s top recruit for the class of 2027, and the 16th best in the country, according to 247 Sports.

Pittman chose Nebraska over offers from LSU, Oregon, and Michigan.

Currently, he is the Huskers’ second commitment for the 2027 class.
