Nebraska to host class of 2026 three-star offensive lineman Mataalii Benjamin
Nebraska football will get an official visit from a class of 2026 three-star offensive lineman this summer. Mataalii Benjamin will visit Lincoln on June 6. Benjamin will also visit Oklahoma State on April 4, Arkansas on June 13, and Houston on June 20.
The lineman measures in at 6-foot-6, 305 pounds. He is the 75th offensive tackle in the 2026 class and the 17th overall player in his class from the state of Utah, per the 247Sports rankings.
Nebraska has done well at recruiting offensive linemen for future classes. They currently have no offensive line commitments for the 2026 class and three commitments in total. The class itself ranks 37th overall nationally per the 247Sports Team Rankings.
It will be interesting to see how Nebraska fairs in this recruitment. Benjamin is undoubtedly an imposing physical specimen, and Donovan Raiola has improved the offensive line's play throughout the last couple of seasons. Landing Benjamin would give the program another talented lineman to work with.

Texas A&M is predicted to land two 2026 4-star prospects
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class made significant strides last weekend after coach Mike Elko and his staff hosted 18 players from the cycle, resulting in locking down three commits, as four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory, running back Jonathan Hatton and tight end Caleb Tafua all canceled their remaining visits, and are 100% committed to the Aggies ahead of Early Signing Day on December 4. On Monday, two more 2026 prospects received predictions per 247Sports' recruiting staff to land with Texas A&M, including one of the weekend's notable visitors, four-star linebacker Tank King, while four-star versatile wide receiver Paris Melvin Jr., who will take an official visit to College Station on June 20, also receiving a prediction to land with the Aggies. Advertisement King has been on the Aggies' radar ever since he began rising in the recruiting ranks. At the same time, Melvin, who is seen as a cornerback at the next level, has been in contact with Texas A&M defensive back coaches Jordan Peterson and Ishmael Aristide for quite some time. This is just another example of how successful Mike Elko has been in developing strong relationships on the recruiting trail, especially given that the Texas Longhorns are just a short two hours away and have also been recruiting at a very high level since joining the SEC. Tank King is set to announce his commitment on July 4, while Paris Melvin has yet to release his commitment date, but will likely do so after completing several of his upcoming visits.
