Another highly touted football player from Colorado is headed to Lincoln. Cherry Creek offensive lineman Michael Lynn announced on Twitter Sunday night that he was committing to play at the University of Nebraska.
Lynn joins Valor Christian quarterback Luke McCaffrey, who announced his commitment earlier in the summer.
Lynn is the latest player from Cherry Creek to commit to a Division I school. Aiden Kneller is heading to New Mexico, Marcus Miller is going to the Air Force Academy, Alec Pell is staying home to go to Colorado and Alex Padilla will join Lynn in the Big Ten as he committed to Iowa.
This is the latest commitment for the class of 2019.

Cherry Creek two-way standout Alec Pell had previously announced that he was going to play football at Boise State.
Five days ago, Pell received a scholarship offer from the University of Colorado. Monday, he decided to accept it.
Pell took to Twitter on the first day of the 2018 fall season to announce that he’ll stay in Colorado rather than head to Idaho.
Pell accounted for over 750 all-purpose yards for the Bruins last year and scored nine touchdowns.
His announcement comes just a day after his teammate Michael Lynn announced that he would play football at the University of Nebraska.
Like everyone in Colorado, Cherry Creek officially begins practice on Monday. The Bruins will be in action on Aug. 23 when they travel to Colorado Springs to take on Doherty.
With last night’s commitment to Nebraska, Cherry Creek now has five Division I football commits for the class of 2019.
Kain Medrano is heading to Hollywood. The Pueblo East receiver, who helped the Eagles claim a third-straight Class 3A football title in 2016, will play football at UCLA.
He announced his decision on Twitter Wednesday night.
Medrano led the Eagles with 1,272 all-purpose yards in 2017. He scored 12 total touchdowns on the year. That came after the 2016 campaign where he contributed mostly in the return game.
Medrano recently competed at a camp at UCLA where he received an offer to play for the Bruins.
He becomes the latest commit from the class of 2019 to announce his commitment.
