Nebraska has landed one of the most versatile recruits in the 2016 class by securing Lamar Jackson.

Jackson announced his decision Tuesday in a Bleacher Report video.

The four-star recruit is a tremendous athlete who played all over the field in high school. Jackson was used as a defensive back, quarterback, running back, and receiver during his time at Franklin High School.

In addition to the Cornhuskers, Jackson was also pursued by Michigan, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Oregon, and several other Power 5 schools.
