Welcome, Neal. This kid has good size and can get off the line! Great in-state get.

Here is an interview with Central's coach talking about Daishon as well as an interview with Daishon.

@NateClouse: Omaha (Neb.) Central DE Daishon Neal tells me he just picked up an offer from #Nebraska. #Huskers #nebpreps

N!

Yeah, that was fast. Any outside confirmation? I only ask because there was one recruit within the past few years who announced a commit on his own but it turned out the staff wasn't ready to accept his commitment yet.

It was just 28 minutes after Omaha Central DE Daishon Neal (@DaishonNeal90) was offered by the #Huskers until he committed.

Here is Daishon's tweet announcing his offer:

Also -- saw that he just got upgraded from 6'6 to 6'8. That's tall

 

[Mavric]

Holy Cow!!! 6-8!?!?!? I know we're after tall and lanky DEs but that's nuts.

 

[Haspula]

Was wondering when he would be offered. Welcome

First skyscraper in Lincoln. Tall Tall Tall.

@Sean_Callahan: Back in February Jay Ball told me one coach said "you are going to get a lot of people coming to Central looking at this young man (Neal)."

The interview I linked in post 4 has that quote. Neal had been getting attention from Oklahoma St and just got back from a visit this week. Okie St coaches down there were surprised Nebraska had not found him earlier.
