Nebraska in the mix for defensive line target
Class of 2026 three-star defensive lineman Vilama Moala decommitted from Oregon on Monday afternoon. Now, it appears that the Huskers are in the mix for his recruitment, along with several other schools, per Adam Gorney. Moala is the No. 58 overall defensive lineman in the 2026 class and the third overall player in his class from the state of Oregon, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. North Carolina, Miami, Cal, Utah, and Florida have all reached out to him following his decommitment. Moala would be a solid get for a Huskers program looking to add depth on the defensive line. He recorded 99 tackles, 12.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and 35 quarterback hurries according to statistics from His decommitment certainly made waves, with many of the programs mentioned looking to get a defensive tackle.

Nebraska football predicted to land four-star Texas linebacker
Nebraska football landed a prediction in their favor on Monday for 2026 four-star linebacker Calvin Thomas. Thomas was given a prediction to Nebraska by On3's Steve Wilfong on Monday afternoon. Thomas is the No. 26 overall linebacker in his class and the No. 45 overall player in the state of Texas, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. The Texas Longhorns were originally thought to be leaders and his recruitment, but momentum has shifted towards the Huskers. The linebacker recorded 69 tackles last season, to go along with seven sacks, a pass deflection, and a fumble recovery, per statistics from Nebraska football holds 11 commitments in the class of 2026, but Thomas would give them another four-star commitment. The class itself currently ranks No. 46 overall nationally. It will certainly be interesting to see how this commitment plays out. Thomas would be another good addition to a solid group of linebackers.

Huskers land prediction for top player in the state of Nebraska
Class of 2027 four-star safety Tory Pittman has been projected to the Nebraska football program by Rivals' Greg Smith. Smith put the prediction in on Friday. Pittman is one of the most coveted prospects for the 2027 class. On top of this, he is the top prospect in the state of Nebraska and the second safety in the 2027 class overall, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Pittman has visited the Nebraska campus several times. He has taken one visit this calendar year, doing so on March 27. He has visited the Huskers six other times, with his first visit coming on April 9, 2024. The safety is coming off a strong 2024 season that saw him record 54 tackles, a sack, and three interceptions, per statistics from The safety will be a challenge to keep in-state, as he has tremendous talent and attention at a national level. Smith's prediction is certainly encouraging, but there is still a long way to go between then and signing day.

Nebraska makes strong impression on key tight end target
Nebraska makes strong impression on key tight end target Nebraska football made a strong impression on class of 2026 three-star tight end Luke Sorensen over the weekend. He expressed his excitement (subscription required) with the program to On3's Chad Simmons on Sunday. Sorensen is the 35th overall tight end in the 2026 class and the 60th overall player in his class from the state of California, according to the On3 recruiting rankings. He has a busy visit schedule ahead, as he is scheduled to visit the Penn State Nittany Lions on June 13 and is expected to announce his commitment on June 20. In the meantime, he was very impressed with how things went down in Lincoln, as he was part of one of the biggest visit weekends of the summer. "I had an awesome time, and it will be hard to top,' Sorensen said. The tight end caught 15 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns last season for Servite High School in California, per statistics from Sorensen is one of Nebraska's top tight end targets in this class. Being able to land him would immediately strengthen the tight end position and give the program additional depth. Things appear to be trending in the right direction as he received a Crystal Ball prediction to the Huskers from Steve Wiltfong. It may prove to be a bit of a challenge with the Nittany Lions getting the final visit. However, there is no doubt Nebraska put their best foot forward here.
