The eighth commit for Nebraska’s 2013 recruiting class comes a bit out of the blue. Or whatever primary color Pittsburgh wears.

247Sports has confirmed that Dan Samuelson, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound offensive lineman from Plymouth, Ind., switched his commit from Pitt to NU Tuesday after visiting Lincoln over the weekend.

The Panthers’ new coach, Paul Chryst, was Wisconsin’s offensive coordinator for several years.

A three-star prospect rated as the nation’s No. 40 offensive guard, Samuelson had offers to Illinois, Minnesota and Bowling Green, among others. Plymouth is 30 miles south of South Bend, Ind.
