Schedule detail
is the class ranking relevant at this point?
I was told we had to wait 2 weeks for the transfer portal to conclude and THEN Nebraska can be judged!
in all honesty, I "knew" as well. Not first hand, of course, but the guy stayed in Lincoln 3 days. That was a major sign.
At least Florida has the former GT OC, guy probably wants to play in the same scheme
SDSU DBs should be announcing N soon
Is @pavelkasuncle the new @SirYacht ?
Horrible news for the bitching women crowd
If I join on3 does Dean get my money?
Can they rush the passer ?
FER ACCOUNE MATADA!
Yes
I don't think so. He didn't seem to imply that at all.
I think it is Mongo for "I am HOL's main recruting writer, but it's only a side gig for me so I have a hard time keeping up with stuff."

(Update 1/4/26 4:10 p.m) New predictions for the Huskers
Hearing good things about where Nebraska stands with Owen Chambliss, Huskers trending well and I’ve gone ahead and input a prediction for the Huskers to land his commitment. Joining On3’s Greg Biggins with a prediction for the 6-foot-3, 230lb LB.(Update 1/4/26 4:00 p.m.) Change of plans for SDSU EDGE Ryan Henderson

Per On3’s Chad Simmons, Nebraska is working to get Michigan State EDGE Jalen Thompson on campus. He’s spending the weekend at Texas A&M, will visit Notre Dame and Mississippi State next. Nebraska and Florida State are two others pushing to get the 6-foot-3, 260-pounder on campus.

Memphis offensive lineman Malachi Breland was originally expected to visit Nebraska Sunday, but that trip is no longer expected to happen, at least on Sunday. South Carolina swing offensive tackle Tree Babalade is expected on campus though, a 6-foot-5, 330lb veteran offensive lineman who’s made starts at both tackle positions under Lonnie Teasley, now Nebraska’s run game coordinator. Cockeye State’s Brendan Black is wrapping up his time in Lincoln and there is at least some doubt he makes his visit to South Carolina as initially scheduled, the Huskers made a positive first impression.Nebraska is still expected to get visits from Cockeye State linebacker Will Hawthorne and Oregon State linebacker Dexter Foster, but they could end up rolling into town later today into early this week as the Huskers focus in on some top targets currently on campus. UCLA defensive end Anthony Jones is another still expected to visit, but could roll into town late Sunday or even into the week.
(Update 1/3/26 8:00 p.m) UCLA DL set to visit Nebraska
UCLA defensive end Anthony Jones is set to visit Nebraska tomorrow, Jan. 4, he tells me. He led UCLA in quarterback huries and tied for the team lead in sacks this fall. The 6-foot-5, 265lb pass rusher recorded 20 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in eleven games, along with 16 pressures per PFF.

(Update 1/3/25 11:40 a.m.) A third LB set to visit
Can confirm Nebraska is expecting Oregon State transfer linebacker Dexter Foster to visit later this week. The sophomore out of Portland (Ore.) Central Catholic stands 6-foot-3, 236lbs and started seven games for the Beavers this fall. He posted 52 tackles with three tackles for loss, four quarterback hurries and a pass breakup in seven appearances. He was briefly recruited by Idaho back when Rob Aurich was the defensive coordinator for the Vandals.(Update 1/3/25 8:49 a.m.) Massive interior D-lineman visiting
On3’s Pete Nakos reported Nebraska will get a visit from gigantic interior defensive lineman Horace Lockett, a 6-6, 355-pounder who spent 2025 at UCF, but only played in four games as he sustained a season-ending injury.Nakos also reports the Horace plans to visit Notre Dame, Ohio State, South Carolina and Ole Miss. He’s expected to have one season of eligibility.
In his lone season at UCF, Lockett recorded 13 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack along with two pass breakups. Prior to UCF, Lockett played three seasons in the ACC at Georgia Tech, which is where new Nebraska O-line coach Geep Wade coached before coming to Lincoln.
Lockett missed all of 2024 with a season-ending injury. In 2023, he played in 10 games and finished with 25 tackles and 2.5 TFLs. He redshirted in 2022, not appearing in a game.

Adding San Diego State transfer safety Dwayne McDougle to the weekend visitor list.

This fall, he recorded 51 tackles, four interceptions and a forced fumble. He stands 6-foot, 205lbs with one season of eligibility remaining. Has familiarity with Aurich’s scheme and playing in the secondary with Andrew Marshall(Update 1/2/25 6 p.m.) Veteran Big 12 defensive lineman sets visit
Per source, Nebraska will get a visit Saturday from interior defensive lineman Malcolm Alcorn-Crowder.

Alcorn-Crowder, a native of Brockton, Mass., is expected to have one season of eligibility remaining.
Freshman LB transfer sets visit
Cockeye State freshman linebacker Will Hawthorne confirms with me he plans to visit Nebraska on Sunday. Hawthorne was offered by Nebraska last summer at camp and ultimately committed to Cockeye State over the Huskers, citing the opportunity to stay home (he lives 30 minutes from Ames). Ran for 2,263 rushing yards as a senior offensively with 44.5 tackles, 10.0 TFL, two sacks and three forced fumbles on the defensive side of the ball in his senior season at Gilbert (Ia.) Redshirted this past fall.Here’s what he told Inside Nebraska last summer
““I was real excited,” he said of Nebraska’s offer. “Nebraska’s a powerhouse of a program. My dad grew up in the 90s when they were winning all those national titles and he always used to talk about how great they were. I was there in the fall to check out their facilities and they were pretty exciting, I’ll just say that.”
San Diego State DB sets visit
On3’s Pete Nakos reports San Diego State S Dalesean Staley will visit Nebraska and Missouri in the coming days. Huskers are expected to get the first visit. Staley originally hails from Blue Springs (Mo.) and started his career at Northern Cockeye. He totaled 42 tackles, one forced fumble and one interception this fall for the Aztecs.Standout LB target sets visit
San Diego State linebacker Owen Chambliss tells me he’ll be visiting Nebraska this weekend, Jan 3-4. The 6-foot-3, 230lb junior linebacker led the Aztecs with 110 tackles, to go with four sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss. He’d bring valuable experience and athleticism to a Nebraska linebacker room that needs it. He’s garnering serious Power Four interest, and noted he’s still figuring out additional visits, but the Huskers would like to secure his commitment while he’s in town.Transfer QB target emerging
On3’s Steve Wiltfong and Pete Nakos has logged a prediction for Nebraska to land Notre Dame transfer quarterback Kenny Minchey, who announced his intentions to open the portal last month after three seasons with the Fighting Irish. Minchey officially entered the portal on Wednesday with a ‘do not contact’ tag, indicating he knows where he’s going.This will move quickly for the Huskers as Dana Holgorsen noted the dominoes will fall quickly. Minchey battled with CJ Carr for the starting job at Notre Dame this past offseason and nearly won, and now hits the portal to find an opportunity to start. He completed 20 of 26 pass attempts for 212 yards in five games of reserve action this fall. Though he lacks experience, he was heralded coming out of high school as a high-level game manager with the tools to elevate an offense. He has the traits Nebraska is looking for: quick release, accurate across all three levels of the field, arm strength to push the ball downfield and the mobility to extend plays.
Nebraska is also a program to watch for Kentucky transfer quarterback Cutter Boley, but Arizona State is the favorite to land the 6-foot-5 signal caller who threw for 2,160 yards and 15 touchdowns with 12 interceptions after taking over the starting role this fall. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
Huskers set to host top transfer IOL
Per On3’s Hayes Fawcett, Nebraska will get the first visit from Cockeye State right guard Brendan Black, who stands 6-fooot-4, 320lbs with 30 starts under belt across three seasons with the Cyclones. Black is scheduled to visit South Carolina as well Jan 6-7, the Huskers would ideally like to prevent that trip from happening and get the impact guard locked down while he’s in Lincoln this weekend.Latest on SDSU defenders
Nebraska is expected to get an early visit from San Diego State transfer linebacker Owen Chamblissand the Huskers will look to move fast to secure the leading tackler from Rob Aurich’s defense in 2025. Chambliss totaled 110 tackles, to go with four sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss. At 6-foot-3, 230lbs with two years of experience he’d bring valuable experience and athleticism to the second level of the Huskers’ defense. Top Power Four programs are battling here though, can Nebraska lock him down before other programs get a chance to impress?Nebraska is far from a lock to land touted San Diego State edge rushers Trey White and Ryan Henderson. White enters the portal as one of the top edges on the market and will have multiple College Football Playoff contenders in the mix, including Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are the program to watch early on per On3’s Pete Nakos. Henderson has one visit set thus far, to Houston.
Latest on DL targets
As first reported at Inside Nebraska last week, the Huskers are expected to get an early visit from New Mexico State transfer defensive lineman Ezra Christensen, an early defensive tackle target on the board. This fall, the 6-foot-2, 280lb defensive tackle recorded recorded 42 tackles, eleven tackles for loss and six sacks, to go with ten quarterback hurries. Since announcing his intentions to enter the transfer portal, he’s received interest from the likes of Texas Tech, Penn State, Oregon, Colorado, Baylor and Minnesota through his representation.Kansas State transfer defensive lineman Malcolm Alcorn-Crowder and USC transfer defensive lineman Carlon Jones are two other defensive linemen to monitor early for the Huskers. On3’s Pete Nakos reports the Huskers are among programs in the mix for Tulane transfer defensive lineman Tre’Von McAlpine. The 6-foot-3, 305lb junior recorded 35 tackles and a sack this fall. Kansas, Illinois, Kansas State, Texas A&M and Auburn are others in the running.
