Nebraska creating a stir​

Matt Rhule and the Huskers have two commits early in the 2027 cycle, both blue-chip targets that chose to play in Lincoln over national offer lists.

Rivals’ No. 2 safety Tory Pittman gave his pledge to Nebraska over the weekend as the Omaha (Neb.) Central standout chose the Huskers over LSU, Oregon, Michigan, Notre Dame and USC.

The nation’s No. 16 prospect regardless of position, Pittman joins touted quarterback Trae Taylor in the fold. Taylor is the nation’s No. 86 overall prospect and he elected to play for Nebraska over LSU, Texas A&M and Illinois.

And the vibe around Nebraska is that they’re just getting started.

The Huskers are at the forefront of the recruitments for several more ballyhooed rising juniors. They’re in the lead group for the nation’s No. 1 tight end Ahmad Hudson, top-ranked offensive tackle Kennedy Brown, the No. 2 defensive lineman Albert Simien and No. 4 ranked cornerback Juju Johnson.

Beyond those three elite prospects, four-stars in running back Isaiah Rogers, tight end Cooper Terwilliger, receiver Tay Ellis and safety Robert Geathers are a few other top-of-the-board names Nebraska is building momentum with.

The Huskers are also picking up steam with KJ Green, the nation’s No. 10 edge rusher.

The states of Texas and Louisiana are going to be big points of emphasis for the Huskers in 2027 and the Michigan game on Sept. 20 in Lincoln setting up to be a monster recruiting weekend.

Nebraska aiming high on recruiting trail with blue chips already in 2027 class​

by: Greg Smith 45 minutes ago

Nebraska is off to a hot start in the 2027 recruiting class. There are just two commits in the fold right now but it’s hard to imagine a better start to the class for coach Matt Rhule and company. The class kicked off with the Huskers landing four-star quarterback Trae Taylor over LSU, Texas A&M and Illinois. Taylor has been a relentless peer recruiter for the program.

“I am excited to recruit for Nebraska because it is a great place to be at,” Taylor said. “In my opinion there is no better place. And what they (other recruits) will get to experience is one of the best game day environments in the world.”

Taylor knows that for the program to take another step to recruit against the nation’s best the program will have to show it on the field.

I am ready to prove everyone wrong and the only way to do that is WIN”

Joining Taylor in the 2027 class is the No. 23 overall prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings, an equally weighted formula that utilizes the three major recruiting services, Tory Pittman. The Omaha Central native was a big-time get for Rhule and gives the program a peer recruiter on the defensive side of the ball.

The pair has a list of blue-chippers to go after.

Nebraska 2027 targets​

There is a strong group of blue-chippers that Taylor and Pittman have their sights on. Rivals’ No. 2 tight end Ahmad Hudsonplayed 7-on-7 with Taylor in Lincoln and the two have built a strong bond. Taylor would love to throw jump balls to him in Memorial Stadium. South Dakota native Cooper Terwilliger is another pass catcher to watch for Nebraska.

Nebraska has quietly been in the mix for the nation’s No. 1 prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings, Kennedy Brown. It’s an uphill battle but Nebraska is among the top group. The Huskers are also among the standout programs for big-time offensive tackle Mark Matthews. Rivals’ No. 10 player Albert Simeon is also someone that has been prioritized by Nebraska. Keep an eye on Illinois native Mason Halliman as an offensive tackle target, too.

On the defensive side of the ball KJ Greenhas emerged as a clear target for Nebraska. He’s been hearing a lot more from Taylor recently. The nation’s No. 10 edge rusher is from Georgia and that’s an area Nebraska is taking big swings in. California native JuJu Johnson has heard consistently from defensive backs coach Addison Williams, too.

Look for Nebraska to have the Sept. 20 matchup with Michigan circled as a big recruiting weekend. There is a lot of buzz surrounding the program right now and another step or two forward on the field could yield big results with Taylor and Pittman leading the way.

Wiltfong really likes where we sit with about 5 other 5*s in the 2027 class. I'm serious when I say 10 wins and a playoff birth gives us a real shot at a top 5 class nationally.

Talk about your all-unfortunate names team:

Nebraska recently made the top group for Fort Worth (Tex.) North Crowley four-star cornerback Jerry Outhouse Jr. and hope to get the No. 11 cornerback on campus this fall.
