Nebraska picked up a commit At a key position of need Saturday as Jenks (Okla.) tight end Reese Leitao committed to the Huskers over offers from Penn State, Maryland, Oklahoma State and others.

The 6-foot-4, 234-pound Leitao visited Nebraska in June, and at the time said he had a strong relationship with graduate assistant Tavita Thompson and the Nebraska staff.

“Me and coach Thompson already had a strong relationship, but it definitely grew,” Leitao said after the visit in late June. "That was my first time meeting coach Riley. He’s a great coach and a really nice guy and he really cared about his team and cared about his players. It’s a real family aspect. I liked that.”

Leitao is the second tight end in the class joining Aurora (Neb.) tight end Austin Allen, who committed in the spring. Leitao is a three-star tight end with an overall rating of 84 according to 247Sports.
