Nebraska football got a commitment from class of 2027 five-star safety Tory Pittman III on Friday. He made the announcement on social media.
Pittman is one of the premier players in the 2027 class. He is the No. 23 overall player in the 2027 class, the second-ranked safety, and the top player in his class from the state of Nebraska, according to the Rivals industry rankings.
Pittman had an extensive offer sheet that included schools such as USC, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Miami, Penn State, LSU, Florida State, Oregon, Notre Dame, and Michigan.
He was a two-way star at the high school level. He tallied 26 catches for 458 yards and five touchdowns as a receiver to go along with 54 tackles and three interceptions on the defensive side of the football.
This is a massive get for a Huskers program that is building a strong 2027 class. The class itself already has quarterback Trae Taylor, and now Pittman adds another bona fide star to the group. Two big-time blue-chip players are certainly not a bad start to the class, and it sets the stage for bigger things to come.
