A German defensive side has officially announced its commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. David Hoffken is a 6-foot-2, 257-pound prospect. Keil, Germany.
Hoffken received and accepted a scholarship from the Cornhusker coaching staff earlier this month, but he announced his acceptance on social media earlier this week. The Huskers met the Keil, Germany, native at a football clinic in Houston earlier this month.
Although early reports pointed to Germany possibly playing on the offensive line, Hoffken told 247Sports that after extensive conversations with the coach, he would remain on the defensive line.
The fact that I’m 22 years old and weighs between 6 and 7 and weighs 257 pounds, it would be very difficult to gain that much weight to prepare for the game. And because of the athleticism and mobility it would make more sense to play on the defensive line, and I’m very comfortable with that decision.
The prospect has full eligibility available and will enroll at Nebraska later this summer.
