While Nebraska fans are buzzing about the basketball team’s upcoming Sweet 16 clash with Iowa, there’s plenty of excitement brewing on the football front as well. The Huskers are making waves on the recruiting trail, and it’s time to dive into the details.
Nebraska just secured its seventh commitment for the 2027 class from Kaden Howard, a promising three-star wide receiver. Howard’s blazing speed, clocked at 10.6 seconds in the 100-meter dash, makes him a standout prospect. Despite flying under the radar in Florida, Howard seems like a strategic addition to the Huskers’ lineup.
But that’s not all. Nebraska is also in prime position to land three more commitments for the 2027 class. Let’s break it down.
First up is Timi Aliu, a four-star offensive tackle standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 295 pounds. With a strong projection from Tim Verghese of Rivals, the Huskers have an 84-percent chance to secure Aliu’s commitment, according to the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine. His addition would be a significant boost to Nebraska’s offensive line.
On the defensive side, Nebraska is heavily favored to nab four-star safety Corey Hadley. Ranked 89th overall in the Rivals Industry Rankings, Hadley hails from Sandy Creek, Georgia, and measures 6-foot-1, 180 pounds.
He’s visited Nebraska four times, with his latest trip on March 12th. Projections from Verghese and Bryan Munson of Husker Online give Nebraska a 93-percent chance of landing him, making Hadley a potential game-changer for the secondary.
Lastly, there’s Errol Demontagnac, a three-star defensive lineman from Florida. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 270 pounds, Demontagnac has attracted attention with 14 power-4 offers, including interest from Indiana, Michigan, and Georgia Tech, among others.
His visit to Nebraska this spring, with plans to return for the spring game, is a promising sign for the Huskers. His commitment could mark the first under new defensive tackles coach Corey Brown.
As Nebraska continues to build its roster, these potential commitments signal a bright future for the program. With a blend of speed, strength, and strategic recruiting, the Huskers are positioning themselves as a team to watch.
