Nebraska football freshman wide receiver Cortez Mills was named to Rivals' list of five freshmen from South Florida who can make an impact in 2025. The list was compiled by Marcus Benjamin on Friday.
Mills comes to Nebraska after putting together an accomplished high school career. He had 1,640 yards as a junior and 466 yards and six touchdowns as a senior in high school. He was selected to the Navy All-American Game and looks to make an impact at the collegiate level. Mills' big-play threat ability certainly lends itself to the opportunity to see the field.
Benjamin seemed to be extremely high on Mills, as he wrote about in his piece.
"The Cornhuskers have a relatively young receiving corps, giving Cortez Mills a real opportunity to get on the field early this season. Aside from projected starter, senior Dane Key, Mills will be battling underclassmen for the most part for playing time."
Although there is depth at the wide receiver position, Mills could have the opportunity to get on the field early. The Huskers' wide receiver group has been revamped, and offensive coordinator Dana Holgerson has made it clear that he will play the best wide receivers. Mills could certainly fall into that category sooner rather than later.
