Twitter reacts as Hawaii’s No. 1 recruit commits to Nebraska
Nebraska football’s class of 2024 added another impressive name on Sunday evening. Interior offensive lineman Preston Taumua announced his commitment from the backyard of his family’s home in Hawaii.
“For the next four years, I will be committing to the University of Nebraska.”
Taumua told 247Sports that he chose the Cornhuskers over Arizona and Oregon. He also told the recruiting network that Husker head coach Matt Rhule played a large role in his final decision.
“Down to earth guy, I love him. He treated me like family when I was part of the team (visiting) out there. That’s why I liked him.”
Taumua is the highest-ranked Hawaiin prospect to commit to Nebraska since No. 1 ranked prospect Wynden Ho’ohull committed to the class of 2021. Ho’ohull would transfer to Hawaii back in January of 2022.
Twitter reactions to Taumua’s commitment can be found below.
