The Nebraska Cornhuskers are making waves in the 2027 recruiting cycle, and one name stirring excitement is Kaden Howard. This 3-star wide receiver is catching attention not just for his speed but for his interest in Nebraska. Howard has lined up two visits to Lincoln, including an official one, signaling a growing connection with the Huskers.
Howard's recruitment journey with Nebraska has been swift and promising. Offered a spot just a month ago, he's already gearing up to experience Matt Rhule's program firsthand next week, followed by a more formal visit in June. With a blazing 4.41-second 40-yard dash recorded at a recent Rivals Camp Series event, it's no wonder Nebraska is eager to secure his commitment.
Standing at 5-foot-10 and weighing 160 pounds, Howard isn't just fast; he's versatile. While primarily recruited as a wide receiver, his skills on both sides of the ball make him a hot commodity among Power 4 schools. Nebraska, Louisville, Missouri, West Virginia, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh, and Minnesota are all vying for his talents, with Nebraska currently looking like a strong contender.
The upcoming visits are crucial for Nebraska to showcase why they should be Howard's top choice. With spring practice on the horizon, the Huskers have the perfect opportunity to impress. If all goes well, his June visit could solidify Howard as a key addition to Nebraska's impressive 2027 class.
