Nebraska Cornhuskers
Matt Rhule was able to put together a solid recruiting class in the 2023 cycle after he was hired in November, with four ESPN 300 recruits. He brought in quite a few transfers to give him some immediate help, but he had more time to develop relationships in this 2024 cycle, and it paid off.
Rhule and Nebraska pulled off one of the biggest flips of the cycle, getting five-star QB
Dylan Raiola from Georgia. He's the No. 8 recruit overall and the No. 1 pocket-passing quarterback in the class. Rhule needed help at the position and is getting someone who could compete immediately for playing time. The staff took in transfer
Jeff Sims prior to last season, but Sims was benched during the season before transferring out.
The three quarterbacks who played this season combined for 1,631 yards, 10 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Getting Raiola could be a big help on the field and his commitment could help attract other recruits down the road for Nebraska.
The coaches also signed two ESPN 300 offensive line recruits, another area of need, in
Grant Brix and
Preston Taumua, along with ESPN 300 tight end
Carter Nelson. Overall, it's a great class for Rhule to continue building a foundation for what he wants the roster to look like.
