Here's his official announcement on Twitter:

It's another huge get for the Huskers, who have been on fire lately in both future recruiting as well as transfer portal additions.

Here's what HuskerBigRed.com had to say about the big addition:

Hammerbeck measures in at six-foot-six, 260 pounds. He is a player who is very physical at the point of attack. This particularly helps in terms of the run game. As soon as the ball is snapped, he immediately extends his hands and drives his man back. This allows for clear lanes for the running back. This play style also helps in terms of pass protection.

Hammerbeck chose Nebraska over the likes of Texas Tech, Minnesota, Kansas, and Kansas State.

Hammerbeck's Winner Warriors lost in the State Semis last year, and their season begins this Fall with an August 23rd opener at home against Hot Springs.
