The Owls earned their third commit from the weekend of December 8th after nationally ranked JUCO WR Nero Nelson announced his pledge via twitter.
Nelson comes from Copiah-Lincoln CC and also held reported offer during his recruitment from Memphis, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Louisville, and Mississippi State.
Nelson hauled in 22 catches for 326 yards and 3 TD for the Wolves last season amongst a talented group of receivers.

Pretty sure he would be the first player in FAU history to sign as a 4 star
Gonna chalk that up as a 4-star victory for us though even if it's not right out of high school because we weren't getting the 4-star JUCO guys before Lane.
We always talked about what it would take to make that recruiting leap from 3 to 4, mostly so we could have the talent level to compete all 4 quarters with P5 teams, and the answer is…. we had to hire Lane Kiffin.

Yes, I believe the JUCO guys McNeal, Johnson, and McGriff were 4 star guys out of HS. Might have been another one. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong there.
