Former Nebraska DE Jay Moore Says He's Happy The Huskers Are Offering Scholarships To In-State Recruits

The state of Nebraska typically isn't loaded with very much high school football talent, so the Huskers' recent recruiting classes haven't included too many in-state prospects. 

The 2015 class had two; the 2014 class had three; the 2013 class had one; the 2012 class had one. 

New head coach Mike Riley has offered some scholarships to a couple in-state prospects for 2016, though. One of the Huskers' three verbal commits in the class - three-star tight end Jared Bubak - is from Lincoln, Neb. Wednesday afternoon, Riley offered defensive end Noah Fant, who's from Omaha.

This pleases former Nebraska defensive end Jay Moore, an Elkhorn, Neb., native who starred for the Huskers in the mid-2000s.

Will Riley make a concerted effort to keep more of Nebraska's talent in-state, or will the plethora of in-state offers made recently end up being an anomaly in his recruiting efforts? We'll find out.
