The Huskers Wednesday picked up their fourth football commit for the class of 2009. Gross High School senior-to-be C.J. Zimmerer is a 6-1, 215 pound fullback.

Big Red Insider Sean Callahan of HuskersIllustrated.com says Zimmerer is the old-fashioned kind of physical, blocking fullback that Nebraska featured in its national championship seasons.

“He is just your classic, old-school Nebraska fullback and these guys, believe it or not, are far and few between in high school football. A lot of teams don’t really even run a true fullback and let alone it’s hard to find a guy with the versatility of C.J. Zimmerer, so I think it’s pretty clear that the direction Nebraska wants to go is a more power base and you need to have a fullback and I think C.J. Zimmerer is the perfect type of guy they’re looking for, for the future.”
