A defensive end from Germany has officially announced his commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. David Hoffken is a 6-foot-7, 257-pound prospect out of Keil, Germany.
Hoffken was offered and accepted a scholarship from the Cornhusker coaching staff earlier this month, but he announced his acceptance on social media earlier this week. The Huskers found the Keil, Germany native at a football clinic in Houston earlier in the month.
While early reports had Germany possibly playing on the offensive line, Hoffken told 247Sports that after extensive conversations with coaching, he would remain on the defensive line.
The fact that I’m 22 and was 6-7, 257 pounds, it would be pretty hard to gain that much weight to get me game ready. And due to the athleticism and mobility it would make more sense to play defensive line, and I’m very comfortable with that decision.
The prospect has his full eligibility available and will enroll at Nebraska later this summer.
