Former Nebraska defensive lineman transfers to Western Illinois
Former Nebraska defensive lineman transfers to Western Illinois Former Nebraska football defensive lineman David Borchers transferred to Western Illinois on Monday. He made the announcement on social media. Borchers entered the program as a walk-on after initially signing with Iowa Central Community College. He made the transition to the defensive line in 2024 after redshirting in 2023. He did not appear in any games in the 2024 season. The defensive lineman officially entered the transfer portal on April 29. Borchers was originally a three-star prospect and was ranked among the top 20 players in the state of Iowa in his recruiting class, per 247Sports Rankings. He officially enrolled at Nebraska on July 1, 2023 Borchers measures six feet four inches and weighs 300 pounds. His size can certainly be an asset, allowing him to play either side of the football. On top of this, he still has the opportunity to remain close to home. Now he has a chance to make a name for himself at the FCS level.

Huskers offer rising class of 2027 quarterback
Huskers offer rising class of 2027 quarterback Nebraska football extended an offer to class of 2027 quarterback Keegan Croucher over the weekend. He made the announcement on social media. According to the 247Sports Rankings, Croucher is the 48th-ranked recruit nationally and the sixth-ranked quarterback in the 2027 class. He has had a storied football career to this point. During the fall of 2023, he threw for 2,957 yards, 31 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He then transferred to Cheshire Academy in April 2024. The quarterback has offers from the likes of Indiana, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Minnesota, and Michigan. Most recently, he was offered by Michigan State on March 19, prior to being offered by Nebraska. Currently, the 2027 Nebraska football recruiting class has no commitments in it. However, there are currently four quarterbacks on the roster for the Huskers. The program is also doing its homework on signal-caller Trae Taylor. They seem to want to make quarterback a priority position in the class and are doing their homework. Croucher could be a difficult quarterback to land, given that so many teams have an interest. It will be interesting to see where the Huskers fall with this recruitment.

Four-star offensive tackle to visit Nebraska later this month
Four-star offensive tackle to visit Nebraska later this month The Nebraska Cornhuskers will host a four-star class of 2027 recruit later this month. Offensive tackle Cooper Hackett will visit the Lincoln campus on March 26. Hackett is not ranked in the 247Sports Rankings, but he does have a growing offer sheet. Arkansas, North Carolina State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State have all extended offers to him. He measures 6-feet-7 and weighs 250 pounds. Hackett's recruitment has been active recently. On Monday, the Fighting Irish offered him a scholarship. All of his offers have come in March, as several teams begin to shift towards their 2027 classes. Over the last couple of classes, the Huskers have focused on the offensive line position quite a bit. They have several linemen on the roster ready to compete immediately. Nevertheless, building depth for the future at the position is the smart way to go. Currently, the 2027 recruiting class has zero commitments. However, we have seen a rise in offerings over the past few days, which should be the norm moving forward. Nebraska could use additional depth at the tackle position and Hackett's profile certainly indicates that he can potentially be a big-time player.

However, he does have a growing offer sheet, with seven scholarships in total.

However, that could change soon, with multiple visits and offers on the table for the program. The Huskers have been heavily recruiting the state of Illinois in recent weeks. Harrington would be a solid addition to a defense with a bright future and several impact playmakers.

Nebraska to host offensive tackle next month
Nebraska to host offensive tackle next month Nebraska football will host 2026 offensive lineman Leon Noil Jr. on April 26, Sam Spiegelman reported on Thursday. Noil Jr. is the 17th overall player in the state of Louisiana and the 65th overall offensive tackle and his class, per the rankings. He is a three-star recruit. In addition to Nebraska, he will take several campus trips. He will visit Mississippi State on March 22, Houston on March 29, UCF on April 3, Baylor on April 12, and Oklahoma State on April 19. He will wrap up his visits with a final stop in Lincoln. Noil Jr. measures six feet five inches and weighs 270 pounds. The Huskers have been scheduling visits with offensive linemen over the last couple of classes. However, the Huskers currently do not have an offensive line commitment in the 2026 class, which ranks 44th overall nationally with three commitments, per the 247Sports Rankings. The Huskers certainly have several capable linemen on the roster already. However, additional depth is important, especially for future classes. Scheduling multiple visits with multiple prospects is a smart strategy, especially at a position that is placed at a premium.
