The Nebraska football team got some bad news on Saturday. One of the Huskers' top targets at the quarterback position from the 2021 class committed to Utah.
Peter Costelli announced on his official Twitter account that he chose the Utes. Now, recruiting analysts believe that the Cornhuskers are going to need to shake up their approach for a signal-caller from the upcoming class.
Mike Schaefer of 247Sports found the announcement from Costelli a bit of a surprise for a couple of different reasons. The site relies heavily on their analysts talking to prospects and then predicting where they think the kids will end up using "crystal balls." The Huskers 247Sports site pointed out there was not a crystal ball prediction for Costelli to Utah.
The 4-star prospect visited Nebraska twice over the winter and was expected to make a third trip to Lincoln in March. Then things came to an abrupt halt as the coronavirus outbreak swept across the globe. In-person contact was ruled out of bounds by the NCAA.
That change in the recruiting calendar could have made the difference for Costelli in picking his school. In talking to Greg Biggins of 247Sports, the quarterback said he liked the way he felt like he fit in the Utes' offense.
