“I just felt like this was the right fit at the right time,” McCaffrey said. “The Nebraska culture and the history, it’s the right time to join along. I want to be part of it.”
McCaffrey, from Littleton, Colorado, is the No. 1 rated player out of the state of Colorado and the No. 17 athlete in the 2019 class, according to 247Sports composite. He is the highest-rated commit in Nebraska’s 2019 class and held offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Washington, Colorado and North Carolina among others.
With the commitment, Nebraska has seven in the 2019 class. McCaffrey’s recruitment is shut down, he said. No more visits, other than maybe to Nebraska later this summer to help recruit.
“It’s all Nebraska,” he said.
