The last time Nebraska signed a top-15 recruiting class was the 2005 cycle. There’s still over five months to go until the next National Signing Day, but it’s pushing to reach that height once again in the 2027 cycle.
The Huskers signed just 11 prospects last cycle, forming a class that ranked No. 93 in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. There’s now 21 commits in their 2027 class, and as of June 27, that haul ranks 21st nationally.

Nebraska didn’t recruit its home state very well last cycle, but that could change in 2027. Omaha Central four-star safety Tory Pittman, the No. 50 overall recruit in the nation, opted not to waste time in his recruitment and locked in with the Huskers last summer.
“It means a lot to stay home and play for Nebraska,” Pittman told Rivals’ Greg Smith about his decision. “It gives me the opportunity to put Nebraska on the map. Get Nebraska more out there and get back to what Nebraska used to be.”
Joining Pittman at the top of the class is four-star quarterback Trae Taylor. Now the No. 2 QB in the Rivals Industry Ranking, Taylor has been committed for over a year and is one of the most vocal recruiters in the nation. He’s also set to transfer to Millard South in Omaha for his senior season.
“What also makes Nebraska special is their coaching staff is the most genuine, straight-up real coaching staff that I feel I’ve been around from the head coach to the recruiting analysts to the guy that shows me around on down to the professors I got to meet with and the kids on campus,” Taylor told Steve Wiltfong. “I feel like that’s the type of people I want to put myself around.”

The Peach State has also treated Nebraska well this cycle. There’s six prospects from Georgia in the class to date and three of them — four-star IOL Jordan Agbanoma, four-star safety Corey Hadley and four-star offensive tackle Timi Aliu — are top-25 players in the state.
