Recruiting Roundup - Baker Steinkuhler

It’s still mid-week so that means here at the Scarlet Letter we are back on the recruiting trail. This time we’ll look at Nebraska's other big time recruit in 6’6” 290 pound offensive line prospect Baker Stienkuhler.

Baker is currently a senior offensive guard/defensive end/tackle at Lincoln Southwest. He’s versatile and plays almost the entire game for the Sliver Hawks but will more than likely be conditioned to become a tackle on the Husker’s line. He’s had a lot of time at the guard position, so don’t count him out to possibly play both for Nebraska.

Stienkuhler has said on many occasions that his solid verbal commitment to the Huskers is rock solid, mostly because he has grown up in the shadow of Memorial Stadium and because he just wanted to get it over with. He’s also the number one prospect in the state according to most recruiting ranking polls including ESPN and Rivals.com. On Rivals, he is also rated as the number five tackle overall in the entire country and has a listed rating of 6.1 which is the highest possible rating on the site, dubbing all who get the rating as a “franchise player.”

Stienkuhler seems genuinely excited to play for Big Red and to cement the program’s place in the national landscape of college football.

Nebraska will have a boatload of official visits for Saturday night’s game against the Trojan’s of Southern California. The list includes commits OT Bryce Givens, RB Jonas Gray, DE Cameron Meredith and DE Josh Williams. Players still looking for a home will be CB Marc Anthony, ATH Adrian Bushnell, ATH DeVonte Christopher, TE Dion Jordan and WR Raevon Samuel. Hopefully the current Nebraska roster will give the potential future stars something to cheer about.
