I have a really hard time believing that Rivals will keep him a 3*. I think he goes to 5.8 (4*)

1. This was truly a team effort by Nebraska in recruiting Nash Hutmacher. Virtually every single coach on NU's staff played some role in recruiting him especially running backs coach Ryan Held, defensive coordinator Erik Chinander, defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, former defensive line coach Mike Dawson and of course head coach Scott Frost. Once again, the Huskers were the first Power 5 school to offer Hutmacher and recruited him as hard or harder than any other school out there.
2. The commitment of Hutmacher now gives the Huskers four pledges in its 2020 class that fall inside the 500-mile radius for Nebraska which is a huge deal. The talented athlete was right towards the top of NU's overall board and someone they had invested a ton of time and effort into recruiting. The Nebraska staff made their way up to Chamberlain, S.D. to stop by Hutmacher's school pretty much every chance they could over the last two recruiting cycles just as they did for fellow 2020 commits
and others. Nebraska has had a lot of success recruiting the state of South Dakota in the past which is just part of the reason why he was considered a "must get" type of prospect for the Huskers.
3. Hutmacher gives the Huskers its first commit along the defensive line which is arguably the biggest need in the class along with inside linebacker. NU graduates five scholarship defensive linemen after next season including three nose tackles in Darrion Daniels, Carlos Davis and Vaha Vainuku.
4. Not only is Hutmacher a tremendous football prospect, but he's just an elite all around athlete. This past winter he became the first South Dakota heavyweight wrestler to win three consecutive state championships. He's also a standout shot put and discus thrower for his high school team. His athletic accomplishments led to him being names the South Dakota Wrestler of the Year as well as the Male Athlete of the Year this past spring. Additionally, Hutmacher is recognized as the top overall high school heavyweight wrestler in the country regardless of age.
5. Hutmacher has great size and is unbelievably strong, especially for his age, there's a reason why his nickname is "The Polar Bear." Those are two of the biggest traits the Huskers seek out at the nose tackle position. He's physically mature enough to be able to come in and play very early on for Nebraska which is pretty rare at his position. Perhaps the most impressive thing is that he's so much more than a big, strong kid. He's explosive off the line, runs very well and can get up up to bat passes down at the line of scrimmage.
6. Hutmacher plays with a high motor and is a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line. He's the type of player that will command more than one blocker at the next level. I also think he brings enough athleticism to the table to where the Huskers could move him around a bit on the defensive front depending on the situation.
7. There's a lot to like about Hutmacher beyond his athleticism, too. He has all of the intangible qualities you could ever want to bring into your program. His work ethic on and off of the field, especially in the weight room, are second to none. He's also a tough and fierce competitor. His makeup reminds me of 2019 signee

Great great get. Building up the lines is so important, I just don’t see how this kid fails. Seems like if he lived in Georgia he’d be a 6.0 4 star. Love it.
He's a 4 star on TOS. I imagine he will get that 4th star from Rivals. Like last year it took them awhile to get Henrich correct. GBR
"Scott Frost is just a very impressive guy to talk to," added Joe Hutmacher, Nash's father. "I think we're going to see something special out at Nebraska over the next few years. I really do."
In an effort to make Hutmacher feel comfortable during his official visit in April, the Nebraska coaches took their prized recruit fishing (one of his favorite pastimes), using the time away from Memorial Stadium to map out their vision for the program and load him up with facts about Lincoln.
"They don't feed you BS. They tell you how it is," Nash said of the Nebraska coaches, who were the first to offer him a football scholarship last year. "The big reason I chose Nebraska is coach Frost and the coaching staff. I really, really liked those guys."

Dang kid 's a liar, he said July. I guess I can forgive him this time.
Seriously though, great kid and great addition to the class.

Nash is a straight up machine. He plays both sides of the ball for Chamberlain, as well as other sports. He was state champion wrestler, and went undefeated last season. He attacks with great leverage, just like you might expect from a wrestler. On one play, he lined up on the center, got under the pads of both the center and the guard, drove them up the field, and threw them at the quarterback. It was borderline erotic. He also has great vision. There are a few highlights where the play got around the corner, and he took great angles and stopped a big play from turning into a score. He’s athletic, strong, smart, and plays with leverage. I believe the only reason he’s a three star is that he was initially evaluated as an offensive guard.
Oh brother, the conspiracy continues. So if I get this right we need to recruit all 4 and 5* so when they all get downgraded we will at least have 3's and 4's.
great pick up --- I just hope the program doesn't receive the death penalty for providing improper benefits in the form of a fishing license or even worse allowing a recruit to fish without a license. I'm sure the NCAA is also going to want to see some documentation that he didn't catch over his limit.
The South Dakota native is close to his family and they would have preferred to be able to attend his college games if possible. Hutmacher explained that his parents were supportive and said wherever he went they’d be big fans and wanted him to do what’s best for him. They never told him to pick the Huskers but deep down he thought Nebraska is where they wanted him to go.
Of course his father, Joe, was excited because he is a Nebraska fan. So how did the coaching staff react to the news?
“Coach Frost was super excited,” Hutmacher said. “He had just got back from the pool with his kid and I told him. He was super excited and I was getting texts for a few days after from Coach Held, Frost and Chinander saying they were super excited for me picking to be a Husker. They were just super pumped.”
That excitement from his family and the coaching staff is matched from the Husker fan base, which has watched his recruitment closely. Hutmacher has a message for Husker Nation.
“You guys are going to get a guy that is willing to work hard and be the best player he can for the team to help them as much as he can,” he said.” “I’m super excited to be a Husker.”
South Dakota needs to prepare for a Mount Rushmore expansion after his career ends at Nebraska!!
