Nebraska makes top five for elite class of 2026 offensive tackle
Nebraska makes top five for elite class of 2026 offensive tackle Nebraska football made the top five for 2026 four-star offensive tackle Claude Mpouma on Friday. He made the announcement on social media. The Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Buckeyes, Florida Gators, and Auburn Tigers are the other teams on his list. Mpouma is the 178th overall player in the 2026 class, the 14th overall offensive lineman in the class, and the eighth overall player in the class from the state of Illinois per the On3 Recruiting Rankings. Mpouma has made three visits to the Huskers in the past year. He took unofficial visits on November 2 and February 1. He will then take an official visit to Lincoln on June 20. The offensive lineman has a busy schedule for June. He is currently visiting the Tigers, and he will take a trip to Gainesville to visit the Gators on June 13. The Huskers could certainly use an offensive lineman addition in the 2026 class. The class itself currently ranks 56th overall nationally per On3 rankings. Nebraska will have to beat out some elite programs for Mpouma. Nevertheless, it is encouraging that they made his top five.

Notre Dame is not on Claude Mpouma's top-five list
Notre Dame is not on Claude Mpouma's top-five list The Fighting Irish appear to be missing out on top o-line prospect Four-star offensive line prospect Claude Mpouma has a top-five list for his potential school choices, and Notre Dame isn't on it. This despite the Fighting Irish making him an offer as they try to deepen ties with his high school -- Mount Carmel in Chicago The 6-foot-8, 305-pound Mpouma's list includes Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Florida and Auburn. That's a blow for Notre Dame, which has built its recent success around offensive line play. The Irish could always use another four-star recruit. The Mount Carmel Caravan is often one of the strongest teams in Illinois, so it's likely that Notre Dame will keep trying to recruit players from the school. But it looks like head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff have missed out on Mpouma.
