+

The defenseman will be heading to Storrs after flipping his commitment from Wisconsin. According to SB Nation's Jeff Cox via Twitter, "He's a very good defensive defenseman with size," and a "major coup for Mike Cavanaugh and his staff."

Nyberg is a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft by the Buffalo Sabres.
