Matt Masker, the top-rated quarterback from Nebraska in the 2018 class, committed to the Huskers as a preferred walk-on Sunday evening.

“I’ve prayed about it all week and I can feel God pointing me towards Lincoln,” he said. “Nebraska is the best place for me. Every time I go visit, it feels like home and there is no other place on this Earth like it.”

The 6-foot-2, 218-pound senior from Kearney Catholic broke Scott Frost’s Class C-1 record for career passing touchdowns with 86. He completed 486 passes for 7,050 yards in his career.

“I know Coach Frost is going to do something very special and I want to be one of the guys that helps Nebraska get back on top.”

Masker chose Nebraska over Division II offers from UNK, Wayne State, Emporia State, Augustana, Minnesota State-Moorhead, Missouri Western and Northwest Missouri State in addition to a walk-on offer from FCS South Dakota State.

Masker said he is at peace with the decision after a long recruiting process and officially visiting Northwest Missouri last weekend.

Masker was one of the in-state prospects invited to the walk-on only event last Wednesday in Lincoln. He was encouraged by the message he heard.
