At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Armstrong is a pure quarterback recruit for the Huskers, having playing in Cibolo’s pro-style offense. Cibolo won a Texas state title last year with Armstrong at the helm, though current Texas freshman running back Malcolm Brown carried most of the load.
In highlight films, Armstrong, a three-star player according to 24/7 Sports, has shown an ability to play from under center, throw on the run, and scramble when necessary. Like current NU quarterbacks Taylor Martinez and Brion Carnes, he’ll have to get more adept at running the option.
He picked the Huskers over Southern Mississippi – where he had family nearby – but also claimed offers from Oregon, Mississippi State and Missouri, among other schools.
