Homestead (Fla.) High On300 receiver and Oklahoma commit Cortez Mills tells On3 he’ll be at Nebraska this weekend for the Huskers primetime showdown with Colorado.

The four-star Mills has been a verbal to the Sooners since July 1. He’s always been a priority for head coach Matt Rhule.

“The coaching staff really they continuing to recruit me hard,” Mills said of Nebraska. “Showing me I’m still a top priority to they program even though I’m committed.”


Mills has always had love for Nebraska as well. He took his official back in April for the spring game.

“The atmosphere was outstanding and the environment was amazing,” Mills said at the time. “What excites me about Nebraska is the program and the coaching staff.”

The On3 Industry ranks Mills as the country’s No. 15 receiver and No. 114 prospect overall.

Nebraska rolled to a 40-7 victory over UTEP on Saturday to open year two of the Matt Rhule era strong. The terrific start by true freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is adding to the buzz building around the program.

The Huskers now turn their attention to Deion Sanders and Colorado as the Buffaloes head to Lincoln for a primetime rivalry showdown in Lincoln this coming Saturday night.

This is a pivotal game as Rhule and his staff work towards a strong finish on the recruiting trail in the 2025 cycle.

Three prospects Nebraska will continue to chip away at are Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley On300 edge rusher Dawson Merritt, Homestead (Fla.) High On300 receiver Cortez Mills and Omaha (Neb.) Millard South On300 tight end Chase Loftin. Merritt is a verbal to Alabama. Loftin has given a pledge to Florida State.

The Merritt camp has remained very communicative with Rhule and the staff since his June verbal to Alabama. For Nebraska to be a flip threat they have to continue playing well and Alabama isn’t going to drop the ball on their end.

Mills is expected in Lincoln this weekend and told On3 he’ll be there. The Huskers would love to see Merritt there too.

Nebraska currently has On3’s No. 31 ranked recruiting class.

Battling for five-star ATH Michael Terry III​

On3’s No. 1 ranked athlete Michael Terry III is back for a third time this year. He took his official visit for the spring game and returned at the end of July for another look. Texas is trending on the On3 RPM but the Huskers are near the top of the list as well.

“So much change in the short period of time,” Terry told On3. “The facilities are past awesome.”

Receivers coach Garret McGuire has been leading the charge in recruiting the 6-foot-2 1/2, 211-pound Terry to Nebraska. Head coach Matt Rhule is always involved.

“I’m starting to believe Coach is an over-achiever but in a positive way,” Terry said. “They have no other choice but to get better. The changes he’s making to the program is great. Coach is turning that whole program into something different all the way from workouts to eating schedule and meal planning.

“Everything thing is NFL style.”

More visitors for Saturday

Nebraska will have plenty of talented prospects inside Memorial Stadium for the Colorado game.

In-state On3 Industry four-star linebacker Christian Jones says he’ll be back after attending the opener. Nebraska is battling Oklahoma to keep him home.

The On3 Industry’s No. 1 2026 offensive tackle and No. 2 prospect overall in five-star Jackson Cantwell is excited to return.

On300 2026 running backs Kaydin Jones and DeZephen Walker are two more of the headliners. On300 safety Kaedyn Cobbs also returns after a great visit at the end of July.

Key 2026 recruits expected include quarterback Michael Clayton, defensive lineman Hunter Higgins, linebacker Jase Reynolds (Nebraska the heavy On3 RPM favorite), linebacker Joshua Galbreath, tight end Isaac Jensen (Huskers lead on On3 RPM), safety James Dunnigan Jr., quarterback Dayton Raiola, offensive lineman Hudson Parliament (Nebraska leads on the On3 RPM) and edge Landon Bland.

2027 recruits slated to be there include On300 tight end Cooper Terwilliger, safeties Tory Pittman and Semaj Stanford and running back Kylonn Haynie.

Chase Loftin probably rethinking that FSU commitment right about now.
