In a busy signing day, five recruits will be announcing their decisions between Nebraska and other schools. The first of the five, Aaron Curry, got the Huskers off to a great start by picking Nebraska over Iowa.

“He got along with the players and felt comfortable with the coaching staff when he was up there,” Aaron’s dad, Aaron Curry Sr. said. “It was a combination of everything. It’s a good football school and it’s a defensive school.”

Curry actually told NU coaches Sunday night he was in. And new defensive tackle coach Rick Kaczenski was the key one to tell.

“Aaron was getting ready to go to Iowa,” Curry Sr. said. “Then all of a sudden, Coach K went to Nebraska. (When Kaczenski arrived in Lincoln), they asked Coach Kaczenski who he was recruiting at Iowa, and the first name that came up was Aaron’s.”
