Nebraska rising with two top receiver targets
Nebraska football could be getting two more wide receivers in short order. 2026 three-star wide receiver Nalin Scott received a crystal ball prediction from Chad Simmons on Tuesday evening. 2026 three-star wide receiver Larry Miles also received a crystal ball prediction from Steve Wilfong on Monday. Miles and Scott have been connected to the Huskers for some time now. Scott received a prediction on Sunday as well, and Miles has visited the Huskers multiple times. Both receivers would be solid additions for the program. Miles recorded 68 catches for 1,204 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior last season. Scott tallied 29 receptions for 541 yards and two touchdowns last year. Both receivers have a promising senior season ahead of them and would be solid additions to a 2026 recruiting class that is beginning to gain some momentum. The class itself ranks 56th overall nationally, but that could change with more commitments coming. Miles and Scott would be another solid pair for the program.

A look at Nebraska's class of 2026 after the addition of top tight end Luke Sorensen
The Nebraska Cornhuskers' class of 2026 landed its sixth commitment on Friday evening. Tight end Luke Sorensen is the latest addition to the Husker football program. Sorensen is one of two four-star prospects in the 2026 class, along with offensive lineman Hayden Ainsworth of Biloxi, MS. The four remaining prospects are all ranked as three-star commits. The Huskers lost one of their four-star recruits earlier this week when Florida prep corner CJ Bronaugh decommitted. He would switch his commitment to the Florida Gators later in the week, in a move that was described as a desire to remain closer to home. The class has only one defensive commit with in-state linebacker Jace Reynolds. Offensively, the most notable name in the class is quarterback Dayton Raiola, the younger brother of Nebraska starting quarterback Dylan Raiola. The class of 2026 still has a long way to go before it is finished. It currently ranks 71st in the nation and 18th in the Big Ten, according to the latest analysis from On3.
