Inside Louisiana OT Leon Noil's commitment to Nebraska

New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr offensive tackle Leon Noil was planning to announce his commitment on July 7, but he decided not to wait that long. The 6-foot-4.5, 255-pounder held around 20 offers and he was down to Baylor, Mississippi State and Nebraska. He has committed to Matt Rhule and the Huskers.

“Nebraska offered me in January and they have been heavily recruiting me since then,” Noil told On3. “One of the biggest things I love about Nebraska is the resources they have there. How close people are and the community stand out a lot too. Then the fan base is different.”

Mississippi State pushed hard. The Bulldogs had some confidence in Starkville too, but Noil made his decision and he knows where he wants to be.

“After all my visits, I did some thinking and felt Nebraska in my heart. I have been to Nebraska twice and the vibe is great. Everyone is very family-oriented.”

The players are tight and the coaches bring everyone together. Noil is excited about who he will be playing for in Lincoln.

“Coach Raiola is the coach I have the best relationship with,” Noil said. “He is a good coach and a good person to be around. Coach Rhule is great too. He is a lot of fun to be around.”

Noil is commitment No. 10 for Nebraska and they are trending for another target on the offensive line in Claude Mpoumpa.
