AURORA | Regis Jesuit senior-to-be Jack Stoll took to Twitter Wednesday to announce his commitment to the University of Nebraska.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound tight end/h-back picked the Cornhuskers from a double-digit group of schools interested in him. The University of Texas was also strongly in contention for Stoll’s services.

In the Raiders’ run-heavy attack, Stoll blocked often last season and also caught 19 passes for 176 yards and four touchdowns.

“Excited and proud to announce that I have committed to the University of Nebraska!,” Stoll Tweeted.

Stoll’s most recent offers came from Virginia, New Mexico and UNLV. He also had the interest of the University of Colorado, which signed his former teammate, offensive line star Tim Lynott, in February.

ESPN.com has Stoll ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 3 prospect at any position in Colorado behind defensive end Carlo Kemp of Fairview, who is uncommitted, and UCLA commitment Matt Lynch of Broomfield, a quarterback.
