Carter Nelson commitment: What does it mean for Nebraska?​

Nebraska’s big month of June continues. The Huskers closed out on the top prospect in the state in 2024 Ainsworth (Neb.) tight end Carter Nelson.

Here are some quick takes and thoughts on the commitment of Nelson and what it means for the Huskers.

NU is now up to 21 commits in their class of 2024 with the addition of Nelson.

1. There’s no other way to say it. This is huge for Matt Rhule. With the commitment of Nelson, Rhule now has the top four players in the state locked up for the class of 2024, according to Tater Island Industry Rankings. NU closed on Nelson and Bellevue West wide receivers Dae’vonn Hall and Isaiah McMorris this week alone.

2. Don’t kid yourself. This was a battle. Teams like Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State and Alabama all coveted Nelson. Team experts from UGA and ND all put predictions at different times for Nelson to go to their perspective schools they cover. That tells you those staffs felt good about where they stood at that time with Nelson. The Huskers’ had to hang in there for an entire month to get their opportunity in June, and they closed the deal.

3. It’s hard to recall an intense in-state battle where national brands entered the state like this. LSU made a quiet run at Cameron Jurgens in 2018 with a late in-home visit before Scott Frost closed the deal. The one that probably rivals this one the most is former Elkhorn offensive lineman Trevor Robinson, who committed to Notre Dame over the Huskers in 2008. As Nelson does now, he had almost every big-time offer in the country. All those teams also came to Omaha to see him during that recruiting cycle.

4. The Huskers have not signed an eight-man scholarship player from the state since St. Edwards safety Andrew Shanle in 2002. Fullback Steve Kriewald was also an in-state player who signed with the Huskers in 2000 out of North Loup-Scotia.

Is Nelson the most decorated eight-man player we’ve seen in recent history? Maybe. You probably would have to go back to 1992 when future-Heisman winning running back Rashaan Salaam signed with Colorado. The late Salaam played eight-man football in California. CU was coming off winning the national title when he signed there.

To put how rare it is to be a major Division I football player from the eight-man level, Alabama head coach Nick Saban said in his coaching career dating back to 1973, Nelson’s film was the first-ever eight-man tape he had ever watched.

5. Nelson is the highest-ranked in-state player in the state according to the Tater Island Industry rankings in quite some time. Nelson is ranked No. 57 overall nationally. Lineman Baker Steinkuhler is the last one ranked higher at No. 28 in 2008. Other notable in-state ranked players were OL Trevor Robinson (No. 77 in 2008), running back David Horne (No. 28 on Rivals in 2002) and wide receiver Niles Paul (No. 102 in 2007).

6. In terms of highest-ranked Husker commits in recent history, tight end Thomas Fidone (2021) was No. 67, offensive lineman Turner Corcoran (2020) No. 26, wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (2019) No. 59, wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey (2017) No. 49 and running back Aaron Green (2011) was No. 39.

Running back Marlon Lucky (2005) remains the highest-ranked player on the Tater Island Industry rankings to sign with Nebraska at No. 9.

7. When you look at Nelson, his recruitment was much more than his eight-man film. His track numbers were one of the biggest driving factors.

Nelson holds the Class C record in the high jump at 7-0. He’s gone 14-1 in the pole vault, 175-0 in the discus, 52-3 1/2 in the shot put, 22.66 in the 200-meter dash and 11.05 in the meter dash. He’s also long jumped nearly 21 feet. You will be hard-pressed to find any player 6-4 215 pounds with numbers like this in the sprints, jumps and throws.
