Lincoln Southeast’s Jake Appleget (9) tries to make a one-handed catch while covered by Lincoln East’s Luke Greisen during a high school football game Thursday, Sept. 24 at Seacrest Field.
Steven M. Sipple, Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett talk through a wild month of June so far in football recruiting and have a lengthy discussion about the Husker baseball team’s run in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and what the next steps for Will Bolt’s program look like.
Another active recruiting weekend wrapped up at Memorial Stadium on Sunday as a half-dozen official visitors finished up their trips to Lincoln and several local teams participated in a 7-on-7 tournament.
Here are some notes and news items from the second of Nebraska’s four open camps this month:
Class of 2022 defensive back Markeith Williams has some family connections to Nebraska, but said his official visit still was an eye-opening one.
The four-star Orlando, Florida, native is a cousin of Husker freshman corner Tamon Lynum, whom he spent plenty of time with this weekend.
“The visit was great,” Williams told the Journal Star in a brief conversation Sunday. “I found out more of the history behind Nebraska and I’ve gotten even closer with the coaching staff. Great visit overall.”
Had a great weekend ❤️ #GBR pic.twitter.com/xUx8FgSeNw

Williams is a standout at Evans High in Orlando. The Husker staff, obviously, knows the area well considering most of them coached there at Central Florida.
Williams is taking an official visit to Miami next weekend and, according to his 247Sports profile, has one on the books to Ohio State for the final weekend of June. He said he could make his college decision this summer.
Secondary coach Travis Fisher and coach Scott Frost are most active in leading Williams’ recruitment for the Huskers, he said.
