Norfolk (Neb.) Catholic tight end prospect David Engelhaupt didn’t waste much time jumping on the opportunity to play for his home state school.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Engelhaupt had been committed to Wyoming since early July, but a late offer from Nebraska Monday evening changed things in a hurry. He learned of the offer from NU offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf.

“Coach Langsdorf told me all about how things went down and how some guys didn’t come and that they’ve wanted to give me a scholarship and it just kind of all worked that that they could offer me,” Engelhaupt said. “I was real excited about it and I was reading all of the forums and my Twitter was blowing up. It was crazy."

The offer did represent a bittersweet moment for Engelhaupt. One one hand he now had the opportunity to realize a dream of playing for the Huskers, but on the other hand he had to inform Wyoming's coaches that he was decommitting.

“It was really tough,” Engelhaupt said about decommitting from Wyoming. “I got really close with the coaches at Wyoming and they are great people. It was really hard to do, but I knew that Nebraska was just the place I needed to be. It’s a dream come true.”
