LINCOLN — Tamon Lynum liked the Nebraska football scholarship offer a lot before he visited NU’s campus this weekend.

Once the 6-foot-2, 175-pound cornerback from Orlando (Florida) Evans High School arrived and got a feel for how the Husker players and coaches do their business, he loved Nebraska’s offer, and accepted it Sunday with a verbal commitment. He’s the fourth in NU’s 2020 class.

“It just feels like home,” Lynum told The World-Herald the morning of his commit. “Everybody gets along and everybody loves each other. It’s like a big family.”

Before visiting Nebraska, Lynum’s top school was East Carolina. But he expected Nebraska would be his top school once he visited. NU was his first Power Five Conference offer; it led to several others. Husker defensive backs coach Travis Fisher favors tall, long defensive backs who can play multiple positions in the secondary. He also likes defensive backs who can hit and contribute on special teams.

Lynum — unrated by Rivals or ESPN and a three-star prospect according to 247 Sports — is certainly physical. The first play on his junior season Hudl highlight tape is a blow-up (and legal) tackle that levels a back to the ground and gets his teammates hopping on the sideline. Lynum often played in press coverage for Evans, locking up opposing receivers before they could progress into their routes.

“He liked my size, my speed, how I moved,” Lynum said of Fisher, who coached for years at Central Florida, which is located in Orlando. Fisher has strong relationships throughout the state has recruited another cornerback — redshirt freshman Braxton Clark — from the state, as well. The 6-foot-4 Clark is one of NU’s key player recruiters, often seen hanging out with various visitors who come into town, especially those from Florida.

Lynum is the first defensive back — the first defensive player, in fact — to commit to NU’s 2020 class and surely not the last. Nebraska’s short on scholarship numbers due to the departures of Cam’ron Jones and CJ Smith, both of whom redshirted during their freshman years last season. While Fisher and his boss, coach Scott Frost, are high on the incoming class of four defensive backs, Nebraska needs another big secondary class to balance out its numbers, as NU has eight scholarship defensive backs — if one includes Cinco JoJo Domann — who are upperclassmen, and just six underclassmen.

Nebraska may not be done landing commits this weekend or this week, either. Derby (Kansas) offensive tackle Alex Conn intends to make a final decision between Nebraska and Oklahoma State on Monday. Chamberlain (South Dakota) defensive tackle Nash Hutmacher and Carroll (Iowa) Kuemper outside linebacker Blaise Gunnerson could both have decisions this week between their finalists. NU has prioritized the commits of both.

The seven official visitors during the weekend tweeted about their gratitude and interest in Nebraska, but it’s unclear, other than Lynum, whether any would be immediate commits.
