Nebraska has found an offensive line coach for the 2026 season. The Huskers are set to hire Georgia Tech offensive line coach Geep Wade for the same position. This was reported by multiple media outlets on Saturday evening.
Wade just finished his third season with Georgia Tech. The Huskers bring in Wade following the dismissal of Donovan Raiola. Raiola was fired after four seasons with Nebraska.

The Yellowjackets averaged 33.1 points per game, 466.3 yards per game and 7.1 yards per play. Running the football was a strength for the team, averaging 203 rushing yards per game.
In terms of pass protection, Georgia Tech allowed only nine sacks for the year. The Yellowjackets allowed the fewest sacks in the ACC in each of the last three seasons.
Wade’s offensive lines have specialized in pass protection, something that the Huskers struggled with last season. In addition, the potent rushing offenses could complement the Huskers’ playmaking backs moving forward.
This latest move marks a busy week for the program. Wade is certainly an intriguing hire, as a new identity on the offensive line begins to take shape.
