The Huskers landed their 2nd commit of the weekend on Sunday night. After picking up safety C.J. Smith, NU adds wide receiver Jaron Woodyard.
Woodyard is a speedy JUCO from Arizona Western and ranked as a three star prospect.

The 5'11" 175 pounder picked the Big Red over offers from West Virginia and Arizona State among others. Woodyard is the first JUCO commit for Nebraska since Bo Pelini's last full signing class in 2014. New NU running backs coach Ryan Held visited Woodyard earlier in the week & on Sunday the effort paid off.
