Jake Shipley interacts with many college football recruiters. But only one made a pair of 1,000-mile roundtrips to watch him play basketball.

Yes, Tony Tuioti is clear in how much he wants the defensive lineman from California to play for him. Just as important — the coach really seems like he cares.

“Usually coaches come down and are recruiting kids from all around where I live at different schools,” Shipley said. “He came just to watch me.”

The 6-foot-5, 245-pounder from Indio Shadow Hills holds a variety of Pac-12 offers, including Oregon and Arizona State. Cal joined the fray in mid-January, when Tuioti extended an opportunity.

After Tuioti became Nebraska’s defensive line coach last week, he hit the ground running. Tuioti made offers to Shipley and at least three other potential 2020 additions Friday.

“Coach Tony called me and said his feelings on me don’t change and they want to offer me if I’m interested,” Shipley said. “And I am interested in Nebraska — it’s a really prestigious school.”
